Photographer Elwall dies

摘要

Obituary Assistant director of the British Architectural Library at the RIBA, Robert Elwall passed away on Wednesday 7 March 2012 after a battle with pancreatic cancer. A champion of architectural photography for more than 30 years, Elwall {pictured) enjoyed a distinguished career as curator, author, critic, conservation advocate and lecturer. He built the largest collection of architectural photography in the world at the RIBA - over 1.5 million images, including the preservation of many important photographic archives previously at risk. In 2006, he created RIBApix, a digital image database that today has over 60,000 images available to researchers and the public.
