Photography has been key to defining how spaces, buildings and their relationship with the surrounding environment are understood. Through his work, Jos\u00e9 Hevia (Palma, 1976) has contributed for decades to shaping this gaze, occupying a space where the image does not merely document, but also interprets and communicates contemporary architecture.<\/p>\n

His interest in this discipline emerged during his years studying Fine Arts, in a context marked by the critical reassessment of modern architecture.<\/p>\n

\u201cBoth disciplines are based on function. The relationship between photography and architecture has always been very natural, both as a tool for designing and for communicating,\u201d explains the photographer.<\/p>\n

His work, present in a wide range of projects \u2014\u201csometimes even antagonistic to one another\u201d\u2014, starts from a clear idea: \u201cThe building is what takes precedence in each case, even more than its architect or the photographer of the moment. You have to remain open to what is fundamental in each project.\u201d<\/p>\n

The influence of the image when it comes to understanding an architectural work, Hevia adds, \u201cdepends on how much intentional weight is given to the photo essay. Some are highly narrative, while others simply seek to place themselves in a neutral, descriptive space.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\t\t
