In an era where the lines between the digital and the real increasingly blur, the BILDBAUTEN series by Philip Schaerer emerges as a pioneering exploration that challenges, intrigues, and captivates. Schaerer, an architect/artist, who employs his expertise and creative prowess to craft images that are more than mere representations of architectural forms – they are a bold re-imagination of architecture itself.

In our digital age, how can technology reshape our perception of and interaction with architectural space? Phillip’s journey through the BILDBAUTEN series is a constant reflection on this, delving into the impact of architecture in the digital era. He pushes the boundaries of our visual and conceptual understanding, constructing forms that feel eerily familiar, yet are entirely "real". At first glance, Schaerer's works in the BILDBAUTEN series might pass for photographs of real buildings. However, these compelling images are born out of a digital environment, meticulously constructed to mimic real-world architectural constructs.

Upon experience Phillip's work, we are invited to ponder the future of architectural discourse and practice in our digital age. Schaerer's work not only exemplifies the fusion of architecture with digital art but also prompts a deeper consideration of the roles architects, artists, and digital creators play in shaping our experiences and perceptions of space and structure as we continuously elevates ourselves in opposition to the digital age.
