DATAR

[Dave Cowlard]

Hello everyone,
Well I have just joined the group, so I send you all my greetings. I also have a request that I hope someone may be able to help me with.

I am in the closing stages of an MA by Research looking at 'alternative' approaches to photographing architecture. I have tried to locate the two books that were published by the DATAR (Délégation à l’aménagement du territoire et à l’action régionale) project, set up by Bernard Latarjet and François Hers.

The two books are:

Paysages Photgraphies, la mission photographique de la DATAR, Paris : Editions Hazan, 1985

Paysages Photgraphies, en France les annees quatre-vingt , Paris : Editions Hazan, 1989

I have been informed by the British Library that there are no copies of these in the UK for loan!
So my initial request is to see if anyone knows where I could possibly get access to see these two books.

Best regards

Dave Cowlard

Hi Dave

Sorry I can't help with the book search, but I would be interested in the results of your research - I am currently exploring possible topics for a PhD and architectural photography (visual representation and perception of architecture) is one of those possibilities.

Regards,

Derek

Hi Derek,

I am busy writing up my research but after that I would be happy to talk more on things!

All the best
Dave
