‘An image (from Latin: imago) is an artifact that depicts visual perception for example, a photo or a two-dimensional picture, that has a similar appearance to some subject – usually a physical object, or a person.’

From Antonio Sant’Elia’s drawings of the Heliopolis to those of the Fun Palace by Cedric Price, certain images produced by 20th century architects deeply influenced the meaning of the image for several generations of architects.

A design and communication tool, the image remains a decisive and crucial step in the definition of any project, whether it materializes through its construction or persists under the form of paper architecture.

With image, Anja Dotter invites us to feel the pulse of a young guard of European architects by questioning them about their relationship to images.
