It's no secret that we here at Archinect have long been great admirers of Dutch architectural photographer

Iwan Baan

. It goes without saying that we were very excited to meet the man personally when he stopped by in Los Angeles this week.

In front of a small group of invited guests at Hollywood's Perry Rubenstein Gallery, Baan presented photos of the installation "

TORRE DAVID / GRAN HORIZONTE

" he did with Urban Think Tank and Justin McGuirk for this year's Venice Architecture Exhibition "Common Ground" — and

won the team the Golden Lion

for the Best Project. The installation explores an informal and vertical community in an unfinished and abandoned skyscraper in Caracas, Venezuela (

previously on Archinect

).

Here is a small selection of Iwan Baan's photographic exploration for "TORRE DAVID / GRAN HORIZONTE".
