Francis Dzikowski has photographed the new GlaxoSmithKline headquarters for the architects Robert A.M. Stern Architects.

The new building in Philadelphia’s Navy Yard redevelopment has been awarded double LEED platinum status.  The building offers a range of innovation from natural light; low-VOC finishes; energy-efficient lighting, desks offering a range of working positions from sitting to standing, a fitness center and health clinic, as well as a rooftop garden—which provides thermal insulation and retains storm water, while supplying herbs and vegetables to the office cafeteria

The project appears on ArchDaily as well as at Architect Magazine where there is also a project gallery with more of Francis’ images.

In addition to the Architect article and gallery , the project appears in inHABit, in Building Design and Construction and in a regional Philadelphia business journal

“From whimsical doorways on houses to large-scale entries in monumental structures; from kinetic drawbridges to stationary portals” the newest Esto Gallery at Architect Magazine shares a varied collection of photographs of doors and entries from the Esto collection.

The photographs range from early images by Ezra Stoller, to newer projects by the current Esto photographers Albert Vecerka, David Sundberg, Jeff Goldberg, Anton Grassl, Peter Mauss and Francis Dzikowski.

In the introduction, Deane Madsen writes that

Paul Goldberger said in his acceptance speech for the Vincent Scully Prize that he will never review a building he hasn’t personally visited and explored, calling architecture “the way most people connect to the built environment.” If that’s the case, then doorways are both the literal and metaphorical portals through which people travel to experience those connections, and serve as visitors’ first taste of the space within.

Visit Architect Magazine to see the new Esto Gallery.

Francis Dzikowki photographed the renovation of Gary Brewer’s home in the Park Hill in Yonkers, New York.  Period Homes has an article describing in detail, the scope and quality of the restoration, as well as the historical importance of the building.

Brewer, a partner at Robert AM Stern, drove by the house, and, while not looking for a home in Yonkers,  bought it and embarked on a tremendous renovation that drew on Brewer’s professional skills and experience.  In addition “the 1906 two-story house in Park Hill presented something of a research project and will be featured in RAMSA’s upcoming book, Paradise Planned: The Garden Suburb and the Modern City.”

The complete article, and a gallery of Francis’ images can be seen at Period Homes.

Esto Editions Show in Boston

There is an upcoming exhibit of Esto photographers’ work at the Boston Society of Architects.  The show opens on October 2 and runs through December 14. The exhibit has a selection of strong, engaging images by Francis Dzikowski, Jeff Goldberg, Anton Grassl, Peter Mauss, David Sundberg and Albert Vecerka.

The exhibit marks the inaugural release of the first volume of Esto Editions, a select number of photographs now available as limited-edition, fine-art prints.  The series is a set of signed, digital prints on 16×20 Hahnemuhle paper.

Architectural photographers aim to combine a designer’s specific message with a legible narrative of space, place,  construction and use.  Some images move beyond this utilitarian approach to become works of art in their own right.  Esto often deals with descriptive material. With Esto Editions we now highlight the role that an image’s strength and beauty play in its functionality.

Visit the Boston Society of Architects for more information on the exhibit.
