Title: “THE CONSTRUCTION OF AIR-ALBANIA STADIUM”

Prize: Honorable Mention in Category Architecture /Large Format

Location: Tirana, Albania

Description: The New Air-Albania Stadium (2018), a contemporary building by Archea Studio, is constructed in the footprints of the old national stadium, a work of rational modernism of the 1940s. I decided to capture the image in 4x5 inch Kodak film with Graflex Crown Graphic, a vintage View Camera of the same age as the old stadium. The building is photographed during the pouring of concrete and the assembly of steel beams, before the installation of the modern facade. Photographing this modern building with a vintage camera was an artistic way to explore the contrast between past and future technologies.
