Architecture photography by Balthazar Korab

No one has been able to capture the great architecture of the last century as Balthazar Korab , one of the most celebrated photographer. The work of Korab is now celebrated by Princeton Architectural Press in the book John Comazzi , which recounts his childhood in Hungary, the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris and his friendship with Eero Saarinen that launched him as his personal photographer. In the book, as well as photos of the work of Saarinen (such as the TWA Terminal or the Miller House in Columbus) there’s also a nice portfolio with hundreds of photos showing other works commissioned by Korab with names such as Mies Van der Rohe, Frank Lloyd Wright, Le Corbusier, Minoru Yamasaki, Richard Meier and many others.
