Aged Architecture Art (UPDATE)

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Matthias Haker Turns Forsaken Buildings into Unforgettable Art

— January 16, 2013 — Tech
With his talented photography skills and some choice lighting, Matthias Haker turns decrepit and abandoned buildings into halls fit for kings with his aged architecture art.

Matthias has an extensive catalog of these images and was featured on Trend Hunter before with abandoned images of the same effect. The previous gallery showcased homes and living spaces, but this latest collection is filled with coliseums, concert halls and warehouses. His latest subject expansion is most welcome as proven by the glorious pictures.

The images really cause one to wonder what sort of stories these old buildings hold in the woodwork, what kind of dignitaries rubbed elbows there and for what purpose were they abandoned. In any case, through his aged architecture art, these buildings will never be forgotten again.
Trend Themes
1. Aged Architecture Art - Matthias Haker's photographs of abandoned buildings turned into art, creates opportunities for the interior design industry to capture the beauty of decay
