Tiivistelmä
Architectural works that have been designed with meaning can be seen recorded through countless photographs, magazines and books. However, can they truly capture the spirit of the architect and evoke feelings in the viewer?
The main aim of this work is to understand if photography can capture the very essence of an architect’s spirit and intentions in their works. Documenting the works of Alvar Aalto in the Kymenlaakso region through photography for artistic purposes and historical value in the creation of an art book is a result of this work.
This work mainly uses action/practice-based research as an approach method through photography. This approach can be used in the critical review of the photographs taken. Interviews with architects and photographers have also been used for the collection of background information and qualitative research.
The main conclusion of this work is that photographers can capture the spirit of an architect such as Alvar Aalto in that their photographs show how the spaces are used today. The resulting photographs taken as a part of this research work have been produced in the form of an art book.
