The recent issue of Candide focusses on the new research field of visual urbanism. Photographers and researchers have been experimenting with anthropology, cultural studies, sociology, and cultural geography to question the previously uncritical use of photographic images of public spaces. Candide 12 examines possible ways to incorporate this visual research method into the knowledge of architecture. Gathering important voices, the issue offers a cross-disciplinary dialogue between theoreticians and practitioners. The authors provide answers to a number of key questions: What can architects, urban planners, and designers learn from photographers and visual artists, and vice versa? How can we define a new common ground between making photography and designing urban spaces? Candide. Journal for Architectural Knowledge was founded in 2009 by AXEL SOWA and SUSANNE SCHINDLER at the Department of Architectural Theory at RWTH Aachen University. The publication is dedicated to the discussion and dissemination of current discourses in architecture. Hatje Cantz has been publishing Candide since its sixth issue.
