Architectural discourse in Australia continues to o maintain a position that architecture (and design and urbanism) has an autonomy separate from music, art, video games, movies, food, infrastructure, etc. We still have buildings that stand alone as architectural forms that have very little connection to the urban life on the street around them. They appear as fortresses.

I mention this because I'm beginning to explore how to approach architectural photography, and I'm not sure how to go about doing this.
Architectural photography, from what I can gather, is more about creating glossy hardcover promotional images that critically engaging with our built culture; or they celebrate architects as master of design rather than a concern about how the built form relates to the public space.
There is not yet a whole of government approach to innovative and sustainable urban design, building and infrastructure in South Australia.
