European Architecture Looking Like Spaceships Through The Lens of Lars Stieger’s Camera
German photographer and designer Lars Stieger has lately released a portfolio named “Spaceships”. Abstract photos of several European buildings were taken by the artist during his travels across the continent. As opposed to the custom, he shot only certain parts of the buildings that interested him and modified these close up shots so that they would look like spacecraft from an alien world or a Sci-Fi movie. The exploratory method manifested in this portfolio was the result of playing with shadow and light and using an exceptional combination of colors.

Emily Reyes is a Brooklyn-based architecture writer and Article Curator at Arch2O, known for her sharp eye for experimental design and critical theory. A graduate of the Southern California Institute of Architecture (SCI-Arc), Emily’s early work explored speculative urbanism and the boundaries between digital form and physical space. After a few years in Los Angeles working with boutique studios on concept-driven installations, she pivoted toward editorial work, drawn by the need to contextualize and critique the fast-evolving architectural discourse. At Arch2O, she curates articles that dissect emerging technologies, post-anthropocentric design, and contemporary spatial politics. Emily also lectures occasionally and contributes essays to independent design journals across North America.
