Architecture is art in its highest sense. It is the art of building and of submitting to the nature of the materials, the climate, and the customs of a time. It is based on 3 principles: Beauty, Strength, and Utility.

Architecture invites lucid dreams, modulating reality and adapting it to human desires, and it drives us, by way of the camera, to record the richness and strength of geometry.

Award:

• The exhibition with the 15 winning images will take place from February 05th until February 15th, 2011. In Espacio Artistico Estudio Nomada.
