ATLAS OF RUINS is the most important collection of photos of worldwide ruins, published in a yearly edition of books.
After the success of the Vol.1 and Vol.2 books, we are excited to announce the third edition of our Atlas of Ruins CALL FOR PHOTOS!
We’ve all experienced the thrill of stepping into architectural ruins, where history murmurs through crumbling walls and timeworn stones. These remarkable sites, scattered across the globe, stand as powerful testaments to the legacy of past civilizations. To continue preserving these stories and ensuring they remain vivid for future generations, we are launching a new call for photos. Our aim is to build an even more extensive photographic map of the world’s ruins and publish a book featuring the most captivating and evocative images.
The “Atlas of Ruins – Vol 3” book will feature a stunning selection of the most beautiful and surprising photos from each nation, complemented by insightful texts from international scholars of visual arts, architecture, and design. We invite participants to submit one or more photos of a ruin. This contest is open to all photographers—professionals, amateurs, and anyone who has, even by chance, captured a moment of life within an architectural ruin.
