Architecture
Architecture is lines, surfaces, volume. But mainly volume.
This is the 3D strong point, as it forces the viewer to fully appreciate the third dimension our brain has to create when it reads the information from a regular 2D picture.
As a rule of thumb, we always "see in 3D", even when one eye is covered, because our brain interprets the incomplete information it receives and makes the best of it. So the volume we feel looking at shapes and objects is mostly brainwork.
But with 3D photography we can make it as real as possible. Real because it's exaggerated, thus fake.
In this way 3D becomes the ideal method to represent architecture and its beauty, to show the real value of it.
Perception of space
Architecture to me is about elements, space / volume relationships, at least from an aesthetic, visual point of view.
Cities, buildings, decorative elements, their relative position in space & how they relate to each other show exactly that.
And see how powerful 3D imagery is to re-create in the viewer's head the emotion of depth.

These pictures are not really a tentative comparison among architecture in 3 continents.
The common component in them is always to get as much spatiality as possible, to exaggerate the 3D effect to show the volumes as much as possible.
I have also done some experiences on light/shadow/reflections and the right settings to use the 3D Slide Bracket I have developed, to achieve the best results.
And in the meanwhile I have tested 3 different camera setups (Nikon Coolpix 990, Canon Powershot Pro1 and Ricoh Caplio GX100) and possible variables to visually enhance in Photoshop the 3D effect to make it the most pleasing possible.
Most of the architecture images you will find here have been taken from "street level", that is the way we usually relate to architectural views. And also because I have been focusing on experimentation and quantity up to now.
It's all about volume, baby!
