Vlad Pătru, n. 1988, Bacău RO. Graduated from „Ion Mincu” University of Architecture, Bucharest in 2013, with additional master studies at Ecole Nationale Superieure d’Architecture Toulouse. Currently working as an architect in Bucharest and documenting architecture through photography since 2015. He sees architectural photography as a mean of representing all the dynamic qualities of architecture in a static medium.

The architectural project developed by alt.corp seems to somehow reinterpret the covering of a house, somewhere between the archetypal roof silhouette and a succession of more modern terraces. The photographic documentary tries to represent the atypical shape in tandem, going through various contrasts, blurring the boundary between the sky and the house or by setting it in an atypical context. And it does this by using, in its own, the archetypal technique of medium format film photography, that helps to appropriately convey these contrasts.
