Honorable Mention / 2024 / Architecture / Buildings

Elbphilharmonie

The Hamburg Elbphilharmonie was designed by Swiss architects Herzog & de Meuron. The glass-clad structure with its strikingly curved roof is also known as the "glass wave". The sky, water and the city of Hamburg itself are reflected in the façade.

MXPRIVÉ is a Berlin-based photographer known for his artistic approach to architecture. His work explores the interplay of light, geometry, and texture, creating visually striking and emotionally resonant images. Since 2021, he has focused on the aesthetics, character, and materiality of buildings, aiming to capture their essence rather than just their form. His minimalist style invites viewers to experience architecture almost physically. With exhibitions in Budapest, Paris, and Venice, he has quickly gained international recognition.
