Exhibition
• perception • form • pattern • light • structure • design • memory

The built environment is everywhere—from monumental icons to ordinary spaces—but how we see and interpret it transforms structure into art. Architecture is not only construction; it is form, light, rhythm, and cultural memory.

Praxis Gallery seeks photographic art that explores architecture as a subject of perception and imagination. We invite work that moves beyond simple documentation—images that reveal design, geometry, scale, atmosphere, and the dialogue between structure and space. Submissions may include interiors, exteriors, urban or rural settings, historical sites, or contemporary forms, so long as the focus is on how architecture is visually or conceptually realized.

All genres, capture types, black & white, and color, traditional and non-traditional photographic, and digital post-production processes are welcome for submission.
