"Architectural photography is dominated by empty, glossy, new buildings" says Jim Stephenson



Architectural photographer Jim Stephenson explains how The Architect Has Left The Building exhibition at RIBA aims to draw attention to how people use buildings, in this interview.

Despite taking place at the Architecture Gallery at the Royal Institute of British Architects central London HQ, Stephenson told Dezeen that the exhibition is not focused on buildings.

"The installation is about people watching," he said. "Although it's at the RIBA and in the architecture gallery, it's not really about the buildings ? they're just the backdrop, they're the stage set really."

"We wanted to create a meditative, large scale film piece that was all about how people use (and misuse) space once the architect's work is done," he continued.
