A retrospective of work by one of the most compelling photographers of architecture, Hélène Binet, has opened at the Royal Academy of Arts in London. The show contains images of 32 different projects by 12 different architects; from her early definitive photos of the Fire Station at the Vitra Campus in Switzerland by her late friend Zaha Hadid to her recent pictures of the astonishing Ponte sul Basento built in Potenza, Italy in 1976 by the relatively unheralded engineer Sergio Musmeci. However, the structures are only nominally the subject of Binet’s pictures; instead, the 96 images on display across the three rooms at the London museum demonstrate how she searches for and captures the intentions behind architecture – both in an artistic and a wider social sense.
