Collectively we have officially become city slickers. The shift in the bulk of the world’s population from rural to urban dwellers has only occurred in recent years. The downside: more parking tickets; the upside: more opportunities to see great architecture.

On display in Madrid is Gabriele Basilico’s “Intercity”. This exhibit showcases architectural photography from Istanbul, Barcelona, Buenos Aires, Beirut and San Francisco.

Basilico trained as an architect in his native Italy and brings an expert eye to the subject. His interest in photography stems from working on government projects documenting the changing urban landscapes. This influence is seen in his elegant but stark portraits.

His work has been lauded with awards around the world. Most recently La Fundación Astoc and a jury of experts presented him with the Premio Internacional de Fotografia de Arquitectura.
