Photographer: Pedro Luis Ajuriaguerra Saiz
Photographer's Comments: "Due to the reflection of the water at night, the architecture of the buildings shows us the figure of a fish, perhaps prehistoric with its heart still alive."
2. 'Colourful Mixture'
Photographer: Volker Sander
Photographer's Comments: "This picture shows the peaceful coexistence of old and new architecture. The buildings don't fit together, but they are not fighting against each other. They show the creative development in the City centre."
3. 'Sunset above the skyscraper'
Photographer: Mikhail Proskalov
Photographer's Comments: "There's a man at the top of the tallest skyscraper in Europe. It is very romantic to see such a beautiful sunset from that place."
4. 'Hope Hole'
Photographer: Rasol Bayati
Photographer's Comments: "This photo belongs to an ancient art ceiling in the carpet market."
5. 'Eye of the Tower'
Photographer: Mehmet Yasa
Photographer's Comments: "The staircase and the bell look like an eye. Architecture can fascinate us in many ways."
6. 'Abandoned School Fresno'
Photographer: Robert Cassway
Photographer's Comments: "This photo shows the ravages of time and weather on a building that was left to decay by benign neglect after the families that lived in Fresno moved away. It is part of a larger series of photographs titled 'The Vanishing West'."
7. 'Flatiron Building in the Snowstorm'
Photographer: Michele Palazzo
Photographer's Comments: "New York City’s iconic Flatiron building emerges from the blizzard like the bow of a giant ship plowing through the wind and the snow. Taken during the historic coastal storm “Jonas” on January 23rd, 2016 the photograph went viral during the aftermath of the storm."

8. 'The Daredevil'
Photographer: Ata Adnan
Photographer's Comments: "An example of the interaction between humans and architecture."
9. 'Watchful'
Photographer: Derek Snee
Photographer's Comments: "A small ‘pillbox’ – hastily built when Nazi invasion threatened. Today, this stalwart sentinel depends upon the embrace of the dunes of Embleton Bay for protection from the ravages of North Sea storms."
10. 'Multiexpo Potsdam#5'
Image source: Art of Building
Photographer: Frank Machalowski
Photographer's Comments: "This multi-exposure picture reduces the building to its core without any irrelevant background. It emphasizes the building."
11. 'Near to fire for bricks'
Image source: Art of Building
Photographer: Rajaram
Photographer's Comments: "The people are working near a hot fire to burn the bricks. To make a single brick is not as easy as we think."
12. 'Kiss'
Image source: Art of Building
Photographer: Zoltán Balogh
Photographer's Comments: "Women cross the street in front of one of the most famous pub ruins of Budapest. The VIIth district of Budapest is famous from these pubs which are located in old houses of the downtown of Budapest."
13. 'In the brick kiln'
Photographer: Phuc Ngo
Photographer's Comments: "The brick is used in building. Brick architecture is unique."
14. 'The last tower'
Image source: Art of Building
Photographer: Zoltán Balogh
Photographer's Comments: "The old boat loader building next to the bank of the river Danube looks like a remnant of a forgotten civilization."
15. 'Elements'
Image source: Art of Building
Photographer: Jim Dunn
Photographer's Comments: "A colleague of mine alerted me to the CIOB Art of Building competition which he had seen details of in a magazine. The image I submitted was taken about a year ago during the construction of the Riverside Museum in Glasgow which will open in Spring 2011. It has been designed by Zaha Hadid architects. For the past few years, I have been documenting the construction of the building which is being constructed on the site of an old dockyard. Every couple of months I go down to the site and photograph the next stage - as you can probably imagine I have hundreds of images. I used a new plug-in for Photoshop CS4 – ‘merge to HDR’ to heighten the sense of drama in the image."
