Time Slice:Iconic Buildings and Monuments Photographed Over Time Richard Silver
Richard Silver discovered and showed us how iconic buildings and monuments change in appearance from day to night using his series “Time Slice”. He shoots 24 or 36 photos at intervals over different hours and then layers them into his final composition. Previously Fong Qi Wei made a similar approach (Time In Motion), but Silver focused on a single structure so it’s not just a single shot or an image you see but it’s like being told an interesting story about each place.

“The idea behind the “Time Sliced” Project was to photograph iconic world buildings at sunset and capture the changing light from day to night in a single image. Experimenting with a few different kinds of processes I came up with the “Sliced” idea. I decided to Slice time and light showing the progression of the day from left to right.” Richard Silver.

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.
