About the Author

Florian Monheim studied graphic art in Braunschweig and photo design at the University for Applied Sciences in Dortmund, Germany. These two disciplines, and being the son of an architect, influenced him and led him to his passiona the photographic visualization of classical architecture and its relationship with the environment. With a keen eye for detail, he uses a big format camera to make the smallest detail visible. Having already established his own collection of distinctive architectural images, he founded his own specialized photo library, the Bildarchiv Monheim, in 1995, which has grown to be one of the leading libraries in the field of historical and modern architecture."
