The Architekturzentrum Wien has announced the prizewinners and special mentions in this year’s Az W Photo Award. The Photographs will be on display at the AzW, as part of "Eyes-On, the Month of Photography," until 1 December 2014.
Competition entrants were given the theme "Think Global, Build Social," which "inspired [them] to submit a wide range of very different views of architecture’s social agenda," according to a press release from the AzW. Photo locales range from Papua New Guinea for the winner to the South Sudan for one of the special mentions, with the European continent predominating. Veering from the norm in architectural photography, the winners and special mentions find beauty in subjects or perspectives the genre doesn't normally pay attention to, asking viewers to really think about what they're looking at in the process.
