City As Structure 

This series explores the structural language of Boston. The photographs examine how architectural elements, natural forms, and urban infrastructure create visual rhythms throughout the city. By focusing on  form and geometry, the work reveals patterns and relationships between different structural elements – from bridge spans to tree canopies, building grids to branch networks.

​

Through careful composition and attention to line, shape, and form, these images present Boston's structures stripped to their essential geometric elements. The result is a formal study of how various structural components, both built and natural, combine to create the city's distinctive visual vocabulary. City as syntax.

​

While others have explored Boston’s architecture formally, this project takes a more minimalist and structuralist approach—focusing on pure form, spatial relationships, and visual rhythm rather than narrative or historical context. This aligns with traditions in formalism, modernist architecture photography, and minimalist urban studies but also distinct in treating both buildings and natural elements  as structural components of the city.
