Urban Textures is a photographic study investigating the intersection of modernist architecture and urban movement. This project serves as a visual bridge between pure design and academic research, exploring how concrete geometry shapes human interaction.

As a researcher and photographer, I utilized 35mm film to capture the raw materiality of brutalist spaces.
