Via Planetizen:

“Architecture of Density [is] an exhibition of large scale color photographs by Michael Wolf… Some of the structures in the series are photographed without reference to the context of sky or ground, and many buildings are seen in a state of repair or construction: their walls covered with a grid of scaffolding or the soft colored curtains that protect the streets below from falling debris… the anonymous public face of the city is full of rewarding detail – suddenly public space is private space, and large swatches of color give way to smaller pieces of people’s lives.”

Michael Wolf’s photographs are really quite beautiful.  I’m currently enrolled in a class examining American cultural landscapes, and this collection of work reminds me of how different American cities are from the remainder of the world.  Click here to browse Wolf’s photographs of Hong Kong.
