Travel: Cities

Architecture, just like photography, requires both artistic qualities and technique. The attraction to capture a building in a photograph may be because architecture is the master art form, combining creativity, technique and decision-making.

Traveling through Europe can be an unforgettable experience. European cities are rich in culture, history, and, of course, art.

European architecture is a mixture of many different styles and periods. There are grand cathedrals and castles, elegant townhouses and town squares, modern skyscrapers and simple farmhouses.

One of the most visited cities in Europe, Lisbon, has been part of the world’s history since the 15th century. Lisbon’s walls are layered with history and the city has many experiences to offer. In addition to its stunning architecture, Lisbon is also known for its rich culture and old-world charm.

The poetry of space in modern architecture can be seen in the sweeping, curvy lines of MAAT, designed by the British architect Amanda Levete that harmonizes with the Vasco da Gama Bridge.

Modern architecture has its roots in the Bauhaus movement, characterized by the heavy use of flat, geometric surfaces, asymmetrical compositions, and minimal ornamentation.

Bauhaus triggered a change in the way buildings were designed and constructed. It had also introduced new materials, construction techniques, and design principles. The movement had a big influence on modern-day architects and designers.

This collection includes images of famous architecture buildings, both modern and classic, such as the The EDP Headquarters Building, MAAT, Ponte 25 de Abril, Praca do Commercio, and more.
