The way a building gets photographed can play an immense role on how the public view a space. Perhaps no other photographer has made as much of an impact on architecture as Julius Shulman. His work brought the works of many modern architects of the 20th century into the spotlight and presented them in a flattering and fascinating way. His eye would pull out the innovation in both design and engineering in the spaces and bring them to new extremes that would rarely be seen by the typical visitor. His photo of Pierre Koenig’s Case Study No. 22 would come to be a symbol of postwar domestic architecture. The women, furniture, glass and overhang over the city work together seamlessly to create an ideal living space. He presents the space not competing with the background of the city but rather rising above as the future.
