Our fascination with architecture runs deep. We pay attention to the structures around us because of the way it shapes our experiences and tells stories about the culture. To really understand our environment, we can explore cities by strolling down the main streets and learning about history by admiring famous landmarks. For some of us, however, the view from the bottom and from a safe distance is simply not enough.
So today, we’re giving center stage to people who yearn for adventure and choose the path less traveled. We’re talking about urban exploration, often referred to as urbex, that attracts artists and thrill-seekers who wish to document the gradual process of architectural decay. They traverse through buildings full of wrecks and ruin, finding buzz and inspiration in the forgotten structures and the stories they tell.
