Cory Stevens is a Munich-based photographer whose images reveal architecture in a very different light. He distorts buildings so much they don't even look like architecture, more like strange jewels or bizarre globes. In his series Deconstructed. Reimagined., Stevens takes pictures of various components of various buildings, their interiors and exteriors, and then digitally reconstructs them into kaleidoscopic contortions.
