What are the outstanding architectural photographs in the world?

Recently, the results of the 20 17 Arcaid Images Architectural Photography Award were announced. Zhang Qianxi, a photographer from China, won the title of photographer of the year, and his work "Swimming Pool of Gymnasium in New Campus of Tianjin University" won the best work of the year. The winning works were taken in the gymnasium of Tianjin University New Campus designed by Li Xinggang Architectural Studio. The interaction between building structure and natural light captured by Zhang Qianxi became the key factor of winning the prize.

As an image website that has been established for more than 30 years and devoted to displaying wonderful images of the architectural world, Arcaid Image has specially set up the annual architectural photography award, which aims to encourage the enrichment of architectural photography skills and the improvement of innovation ability with the support of relevant institutions such as the World Architectural Festival. Arcaid Architectural Photography Award encourages the public to appreciate architecture outside the building itself, paying attention to composition, light, scale, environment, sense of place and understanding of architecture.

The 20 photos that entered the final selection this year are divided into four categories: the exterior of the building, the interior of the building, the sense of place and the buildings in use. It is reported that the award will be officially awarded in February next year, and 20 finalists will also be exhibited in London.
