These are part of a series of Gullmarsplan – the new Slussen. I shot them for our latest AWS assignment.
AWS is a group of architectural photographers that met during a photo workshop with Åke E Lindman. We pick challenging buildings to photograph and then we compare and discuss the results.

I love concrete.

I recently spent a well deserved weekend in Budapest with the family. We had a really good time just hanging out with friends and walking around this beautiful city.
Everything about the trip was all good except the local heat wave. We had 36°C at 10 o’clock in the evening. And no AC.
Here are a few photos that doesn’t really fit in anywhere. But I like them so I gave them their own blogpost.

I recently spent a week in Barcelona attending a workshop in architectural photography. Our teacher was none other than Åke E:son Lindman, one of the most skillful and productive photographers in this field.
This week was all work and no play. At home I had chosen two very modern buildings to focus on, really tall and with lots of glass. But after our initial lecture I went in a completely different direction and chose to spend most of the time on a two-story house made out of concrete.
I did work on a second building though, MACBA, the museum of contemporary art by Richard Meier. It’s a fantastic building with an overwhelming amount of lines, shapes and shadowplay, as you can see above.

I recently did a test shoot of an old brewery in Stockholm. Most of the magnificent building is now being rented out and it’s been hosting everything from hiphop concerts to corporate events.

I like everything about this house, the Nature Preserve House by architect John McLeod. It’s been built by solid local materials, by near-living contractors in harmony with the surroundings, both geographically and community-wise. Not a single thing in the house has been built without an underlying idea of ecology and sustainability. All photographs by Susan Teare.
