I've been spending some time googling Candida Hofer, a German artist, who's been photographing architecture for over 30 years. With spaces devoid of human interaction, there is an eerie, quiet stillness in her photographs that I find arresting.
Collegium Helveticum ETH Zurich
Pamatnik Vitkov Praha I
Portal da Misericordia Salvador Bahia VII
Strahovska knihovna Praha X
I've just added these books: Candida Hofer: Architecture of Absence and Candida Hofer: In Portugal to my wish list.
beautiful... i think "eerie, quiet stillness" sums her work up perfectly. xp

Wow, some of these photographic images do not even look 'real'.

These spaces are beautiful, especially the Pamatnik Vitkov Praha I. I have recently been spending a lot of time in Europe and the modern architecture there is candy for the eyes.
