Fiat Lux: 51 Photographs by Andrew Ross (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780864735737)

Featuring beautifully lit, atmospheric photographs of dilapidated buildings, industrial settings, and domestic interiors, this unique record highlights the vanishing components of New Zealand. A collaboration between the photographer and five writers, this handbook features handpicked photographs accompanied by short essays examining the city of Wellington and its endangered buildings. Each photograph focuses on a particular theme--including the exploration of workshops, environmental portraits, and specific buildings demolished for highway expansion--and illustrates the fate of a metropolis.
