This image is compiled from sixteen separate black and white images, each a different subject. I believe the aim to be to create a patchwork building, different windows, tiles and shutters all working to cobble together a full building. These different aspects collaged together is the very clever way in which Lampert is able to trick the viewers eye into viewing the image as a strange, mismatched piece of architecture. The different angles and ranges at which each photo has been taken puts together an imperfect image, but the black and white unites each photo as part of the final image. My personal favourite part of this piece is the conscious decision to line up the washing line in the centre, while every other section of this image is disconnected and random, this aspect is satisfying to the eye.

Firstly I needed to isolate sections of buildings, things such as rooftops, windows and doors. I used Camera Raw to do this, by cropping and rotating photos I had taken I was able to get the pieces I needed to achieve the final collage. 

For some sections, like the one on the left, I  wanted to edit out the sky and have white space in the background. To do so I selected the sky as a mask and then put the exposure all the up. This worked perfectly!

Now to compile all the different aspects, this was a tedious process, but fairly easy to achieve using Photoshop. Each aspect being a separate layer made it convenient to move and resize each one.

Like Lambert I wanted to stick to the general layout of a traditional building, roofs at the top, doors at the bottom. 

And here is the final product, I'm quite pleased with it. It definitely effectively mimics Lampert's '(De)construction' style although it contains less images. The 8 images used in this piece vary in detail, angle and depth, the style of building also varies. 

My second attempt. 

I am undecided whether I prefer this one to the last, I think this image is more complex and interesting to look at. However I am unsure if that makes it a bit too busy. 

Displayed here is my third and final attempt at recreating Lampert's work, this time using seventeen images, as I knew I wanted to include a wider array of images. I'm very happy with this image, it includes all of my favourite shots of buildings and effectively creates the full image of a jumbled building.  Clearly, there is a lot going on in this photo but  believe that adds to the fun, chaotic nature of it. 

Next time I would try to capture the edges of more buildings so that I could line the edges of the image with them to more effectively mimic a real life building.
