building books
anno / 2022
tipologia / progetto di allestimento
luogo / chicago
In conjunction with the publication of ‘G. E. Kidder Smith Builds: The Travel of Architectural Photography’, three exhibitions examine his photographic legacy: ‘At Home in America’ features a selection of residential buildings located throughout the USA; ‘Discovering Italy’ reveals Italy’s modern architecture against the backdrop of its ancient past; ‘Building Books’ explores the tools GEKS used to produce visually engaging and deeply researched books.
‘Building Books’ presents books and supporting materials that reveal some of the “behind the scenes” aspects involved in Kidder Smith’s “building” of books. As an author, photographer, and “builder” of books, Kidder Smith excited the imagination of the general public as well as architecture professionals by publishing photography-rich books about new and old buildings in a range of countries. Kidder Smith “designed,” researched, wrote, and photographed a remarkably diverse collection of books about architecture and the built environment.
