Nortigo
A selection of architectural abstracts from contemporary American buildings by architect and photographer Pygmalion Karatzas.
‘Nortigo’ is an exercise in shifting points of view as a gesture to reveal new and interesting information, compositions and feelings from spaces designed to form tangible connections between above and below, by looking straight up towards the ceiling, atrium or sky. The progression from indoor to outdoor spaces supplements the introvert/extrovert design polarity, while the pairing of classical buildings with modern, postmodern and cosmogenic architecture allows for comparative viewing experiences and a diverse showcase of the visited buildings and landmarks. Images are part of the photographic project - 'Integral Lens: an integral approaches to architectural photography’ - taken during a 5-month journey in United States awarded with the Fulbright Artist Scholarship and sponsored by the College of Architecture and Design of the University of Tennessee in Knoxville.
