              The first volume in an ongoing photographic series investigating the materials that construct and define the contemporary city. This inaugural edition centers on glass, capturing its many forms and manifestations within the urban landscape - from the mirrored surfaces of modern facades to the fractured remnants of debris.

        Through a series of images made in various cities across the world (Athens, Copenhagen, Tokyo, Leeds, London, Manchester, Oslo) this publication explores how glass shapes our visual and spatial experience of the built environment reflecting, distorting, and revealing the ever-shifting dynamics of light, structure, and perception. Via its physical unfolding, the publication’s design complements the visual study, emphasising clarity, repetition, and abstraction.
