Objective Architecture: Example Skin and Skeleton – Objektive Architektur: Beispiel “Skin and Skeleton” by Werner Blaser (Scherpe Verlag, 1970) is an exhibition book documenting Blaser’s architectural photographs.
The 100 photographs in this book reflect the thoughts of an architect on architecture. They show how an architect looks at buildings in order to extract from them the principles and laws of architecture. His eye becomes an organ of inner understanding and its vision, perpetuated in the photograph, can be forcefully mediated to other persons.
