This seminal monograph presents a rigorous typological study of industrial water towers, captured by Bernd and Hilla Becher through their signature objective photographic style. By documenting these utilitarian structures with consistent lighting, framing, and perspective, the work elevates mundane industrial architecture into a formalist exploration of geometric form and structural variation.
