Iwan Baan Captures Architecture’s Human Side
Baan parlayed this invaluable experience chronicling architecture’s human side into an illustrious, decades-long career that has taken him around the globe portraying buildings by world-class architects like Herzog & de Meuron, Kazuyo Sejima, and Tatiana Bilbao. His oeuvre is currently the subject of “Moments in Architecture,” a sweeping retrospective—and Baan’s first—at Germany’s Vitra Design Museum, where about 1,000 of his most impactful photographs document the rise of beloved landmarks and informal structures, and reveal how we interact with them.
