The city we lived in, the buildings we interacted with every day. You may recognise these places, yet they no longer exist since they have been recorded in the photographs. Perhaps I have flattened the building, perhaps it looks like a model that never exists in reality. However, to recognise a place, people use signs or texts to recall and follow their own experiences and imagination to compare with their memories. These buildings may tell you the location, yet they no longer exist.

Hsu Hao-Han is an Taiwanese architectural photographer and Nottingham Trent (UK) graduate. Since founding his studio in 2024, Hsu has focused on distilling the structural essence of the built environment. He explores how the interplay between photographic representation and the perception of reality reveals the symbiotic relationship between architecture and society. This work aims to inspire people to reflect on their own connection to surrounding buildings. Guided by this philosophy, his photographs have generated resonance and recognition in international competitions and exhibitions.
