We all see because it is a natural human gift. However, if we learn to LOOK through the eye of the camera, we can Frame. If we can distinguish between near and far, sharp and blurry, foreground and background, we can Focus. By prioritizing, categorizing, organizing, and balancing, we can Compose. By drawing with light, concealing with shadow, and saturating and texturing the subject, we can Illuminate. By understanding the situation, tracking movements, positions, and paths, and waiting for the exact moment, we can Capture. The sum of these five actions results in a great photograph.

The academic program for the 27th edition of our Biennial will be held virtually from November 18 to 28, 2020. This year’s theme is: Architects committed to innovation and entrepreneurship.
