Shifting Perspectives: Scotland's Urban Architecture Through the Lens

The conference will explore how photography has shaped and recorded the urban architectural heritage of Scotland.

About this Event

SHIFTING PERSPECTIVES is a conference organised by . It will explore how photography has shaped and recorded the urban architectural heritage of Scotland. By examining Scottish photography from the 1840s to the present day, architectural styles, photographic records, and the influence of new technologies, the conference will provide a comprehensive look at how cities and towns have been represented and perceived through the lens. Academics, students, architects, photographers, and cultural historians will gather to discuss how photography influences not only the perception of Scotland’s built environment but also the way our modern towns and cities are planned and designed.

Studies in Photography is grateful for the support of Society of Antiquaries of Scotland, and Scottish Council on Archives.
