description: "Iwan Baan is a Dutch photographer. He has challenged a long-standing tradition of depicting buildings as isolated and static by representing people in architecture and showing the building's environment, trying \"to produce more of a story or a feel for a project\" and \"to communicate how people use the space\". He has photographed buildings by many of the world's most prominent architects, including Rem Koolhaas and Toyo Ito. He is \"one of the most widely published\" photographers in the world. His candid \"polysemic shots\" have been compared to the work of Diane Arbus."
