Iwan Baan Is Breaking Through Architecture’s Leading Lines | Observer

…Just as Koolhaas revolutionized modern architecture, Baan broke the convention of idealized and mostly deserted architectural photographs by inviting human beings into the frame with sensitivity and vivid realism.

“I had no idea about architecture,” Baan told Observer, speaking of his beginnings as a professional documentary photographer specializing in the built environment, “but he [Koolhaas] saw something in my images”.

And from there, so did many others. His first comprehensive retrospective, “Iwan Baan: Moments in Architecture” at the Vitra Design Museum in Weil am Rhein, Germany, is an exploration of the Dutch photographer’s oeuvre produced over the past twenty years.
