Calling all photographers and videographers: Architizer’s Vision Awards<\/strong> has categories that celebrate the art of capturing architecture<\/a> through the lens of still and moving images. The Extended Entry<\/strong> deadline is July 24th<\/strong>. Submit today >\u00a0<\/span><\/a><\/em><\/p>\n Videography may be the most powerful storytelling tool available to architects today. Yet it presents a unique challenge: how do you create a compelling narrative around a subject that does not move? Unlike cinema, architectural films often begin with a static object: a building, a room, a landscape.<\/p>\n Using the work of Sohaib Ilyas<\/a>, recipient of the 2025 Vision Awards\u2019 Videographer of the Year award, as a case study, we take a closer look at five of his films to uncover the storytelling techniques behind them. By unpacking these projects, we seek to answer a simple question: if architecture is the subject, what should the story be?<\/p>\n If you\u2019re a videographer or a firm with excellent video imagery of an incredible project, consider showcasing your work through Architizer\u2019s Vision Awards. There are three dedicated video categories<\/a>:\u00a0Building Story<\/strong>, for cinematic documentation of in-progress or completed architecture;\u00a0Profile or Interview<\/strong>, for films that put the people behind the built environment at the center; and\u00a0Experimental<\/strong>, for work that pushes beyond conventional representation entirely.<\/p>\n Enter the Vision Awards<\/a><\/p>\n
