The light in a concrete gymnasium in China, a seemingly endless atrium in South Africa and two triangles as backstage of playground facade in Tokyo all feature among the 20 images shortlisted to be named architecture photograph of the year.

20 photographs finalists in the Arcaid Images Architectural Photography Awards 2017. The shortlist was selected by a panel of judges, and the winner, who will be announced in November, will receive €2,550 (£2,275) and will have their photograph exhibited in Image+Space gallery in Beijing.

The shortlist was selected by a panel of judges that included Amy Croft, Artist and curator of Sto Werkstatt, Clerkenwell London, Richard Bryant, Architectural Photographer, Katy Harris, Communications Director, Foster + Partners, Astrid Klein and Mark Dytham MBE, Klein Dytham Architecture, David Jenkins - Publisher, Circa Press, John Hill, Editor of the World-Architects eMagazine, Kate Goodwin, Head of Architecture and Drue Heinz Curator at the Royal Academy of Arts, Matt Emmett - Arcaid Images Architectural Photography Awards Winner in 2016, and Andrew Chen Li, AIA, Deputy Chairman (Founder) Chief Architect, Cendes Architecture.

"The winning images not only captured the aesthetics of different architecture and space, but also went beyond recording the images by telling stories about the meaningful built environments," said Chen Li.
