summary

Introduce briefly

Iwan Baan is a Dutch photographer known for his unique approach to architectural photography. He challenges the traditional depiction of buildings as isolated and static by incorporating people and the building's environment into his compositions [3]. Baan aims to capture the story and atmosphere of a project, showcasing how people interact with and use the space [3]. He has photographed buildings by renowned architects such as Rem Koolhaas and Toyo Ito [3].

In 2022, Baan visited Prague for the first time and captured the city's "raw, often neglected" side through his camera lens [2]. The exhibition, titled "Iwan Baan: Prague Diary," showcased Baan's photographs of the city's center, periphery, and natural scenery [2]. The exhibition provided a unique perspective on Prague, allowing visitors to see the city from unusual angles and contexts [2].

Baan's photography extends beyond Prague. He has photographed buildings and architectural projects around the world, including the Museum Of Art and Photography in India and the National Museum of Qatar designed by Jean Nouvel [2]. Baan's work has been widely published, and he has received several awards for his contributions to architectural photography [3].

Published books by Iwan Baan include "Momentum of Light," "Dudok by Iwan Baan," "Atmosphere Anatomies," and "Two Sides of the Border," among others [3].
