In an exclusive interview, architecture photographer Hélène Binet told Dezeen that architects are less interested in photographers capturing artistic interpretations of their buildings.
With 40 years of experience photographing both recent and historical projects, she said that most contemporary architecture photography has become repetitive.
Popular projects featured on Dezeen this week included a London home extension and renovation, a waterfront house on a British Columbian island and a secluded hotel retreat in the Swiss village of Adelboden.
