Fine Art Architecture Photography - Herzog de Meuron - Messe Basel

This huge opening in the roof is both a window to the sky and like a gigantic eye that observes us insignificant people. This is the vision I wanted to capture in a fine art photograph.

The Messe Basel, designed by Herzog de Meuron, is a well-known and popular subject for architectural photography and the shapes, monochromatic materials and textures beg for black and white photography - which of course I can't refuse.

In addition to the seemingly monolithic façade surfaces, which only reveal themselves on closer inspection as waves of aluminum strips of varying thickness, it is not only architectural photographers who are impressed by the open center of the first floor, which is designed as an urban square above the urban space baptized as the "City Lounge".

World-renowned architects Herzog & de Meuron built a lot of buildings in their hometown. In fact, there is no other place as stacked with their architecture as Basel, which makes this city a little Eldorado for architecture photography.

Thanks for watching!
