In proposing the significance of the image as a means of understanding and engaging with the built environment, Denise Scott Brown’s photographs from the 1950’s and 60’s seem to have anticipated the explosion of visual culture within urban settings.
As the static images on billboards yield to video screens, and mobile technologies expand the image world to the palm of our hand, these pictures of the modern and historical city represent early, non-hierarchical investigations into the ongoing rapport between image and site, inspiring much of the research on urbanism and representation that followed.
