Well-known German photographer Florian W.Mueller, from Cologne, always considered architecture as a kind of sculpture, a completely unique art whose influence changes according to the times.

In the 1970s, the brutalist movement was on the rise with its wide use of new building materials combined with unusual shapes: Gottfried Bohm’s design of churches in raw concrete is its first representative.  Another emblematic current in the history of architecture is the Bauhaus Style, born in the former German Democratic Republic, which is characterised by large slabs of prefabricated concrete.

According to Mueller, all those influential architectural styles are artworks of their own. That’s why in this image series called “Singularity” he attempts to find the perfect angle to exalt the building and catch its essence.

Choosing the right perspective is very important since it confers the buildings with their artistic flavour. The building stands out alone in the cloudless blue sky, like a sculpture on a pedestal in a gallery or in a museum.

The artist explains that this series started with a couple of pictures he took in New York in November, but since he instantly fell in love with those images, he then searched through his archive and found more candidates. Among them, we can see Asiatic, Spanish, French and, of course, German buildings.
