"Architecture should speak of its time and place, but yearn for timelessness." - Frank Gehry
This week we choose some of our favorite Architecture entries from the past 3 years of the Open competition of the Sony World Photography Awards.
Enter the 2017 competition for free today:
"In 2016 the total number of entries received since the first edition in 2007 surpassed 1 million images, reinforcing its position as one of the most respected and influential photography competitions in existence.
Each year a total prize fund of $30,000 (USD) plus the latest Sony digital imaging equipment is shared between winning photographers. Photographers are taken on a year-long journey, bringing untold exposure and providing a global stage on which to present their work."
