*Special Issue of the Journal of Architecture on photographer Gabriele
Basilico*
*Guest edited by Alexandra Tommasini*

This special issue of the Journal of Architecture explores the work of
photographer Gabriele Basilico (1944-2013). An architect by training, he
spent over thirty years consistently documenting the city space both in his
native Italy and abroad and is remembered as one of the most important
photographers of the built environment. Voices of established academics and
emerging scholars come together in this issue to explore the photographer’s
understanding of space, as well as his visual language, myriad influences,
photobook practice, and gaze on the city. The authors and contributors
reassess Basilico’s work from various perspectives and offer new,
significant insights into his work in response to the general polemics of
contemporary discourses on representations of urban space.
