U15 Photographic Series
U15 Photographic Series is an innovative architectural photography project that explores the intersection between built environment and natural landscapes, created by Italian photographers Tiago Marques and Tania De Pascalis. The series, which earned a Silver A' Design Award in Photography and Photo Manipulation Design category, masterfully captures the U15 building in Milan's Milanofiori district through a minimalist lens, transforming architectural elements into evocative natural formations. Through strategic composition and technical expertise, the photographers deliberately overexposed skies and employed freehand shooting techniques during peak daylight hours to achieve dynamic frames that draw parallels between architectural features and natural phenomena such as waterfalls, rocky slopes, and mountainous terrains. The project's sophisticated approach to architectural photography demonstrates exceptional technical prowess through RAW format capture and meticulous post-production, maintaining balanced contrast while preserving the structure's metallic tones. The series underwent extensive public engagement during its development, incorporating feedback from over 13,000 viewer interactions to refine the final selection of images. This methodical process, combined with lambda chromogenic printing technology, resulted in a cohesive body of work that successfully bridges the gap between urban architecture and natural landscapes, offering viewers multiple interpretations of each carefully composed frame while maintaining the building's distinctive character and relationship with its surrounding environment.
