Hardcover monograph by Alastair Philip Wiper, 144 pages, published by the Danish Architectural Press.

British photographer Alastair Philip Wiper's latest book, "Building Stories," published by the Danish Architectural Press, unveils the hidden narratives within the world of architecture. From nuclear test sites to the childhood home of Steve Jobs and the toilet of a deceased Albanian dictator, Wiper's hyper-realistic, cinematic imagery transports readers into a world where buildings take on distinct personalities, each with its own captivating story.

Over thirteen years, Wiper's lens captured the uncanny beauty of both overlooked structures and renowned architectural icons worldwide. From generic supermarket car parks in Denmark to top-secret government laboratories in the USA, and from the works of Marcel Breuer in France to the towering skyscrapers of Hong Kong, his photographs, created through long exposures of several minutes, exude vivid colours, evocative atmospheres, and a touch of dark humour.

“I want to bring viewers into a fantasy world where their interpretation of the buildings escapes reality, and people make up their own stories about the personalities of these buildings, those that designed them, and those that use them.”

"Building Stories" follows Wiper's previously acclaimed work, including "Unintended Beauty" (2020, Hatje Cantz), in which he vividly portrayed hidden industrial interiors such as shipyards, sausage factories, and particle accelerators. Wiper's unique perspective is underscored by his profound understanding of lines, symmetry, colour, and a dash of the fantastical. He delves into the machines, technology, and infrastructure that surround us, using them as a lens through which to explore humanity's needs, desires, dreams, and inquiries about the universe. Collaborating with renowned brands such as Google and Adidas, Wiper's photographs have graced the pages of esteemed publications like Wired, Vice, Scientific American, and The Guardian.
