BERND and HILLA BECHER

-Typology allows the viewer to notice both the similarities and differences of a series of objects. Through out a series the viewer can easily notice the similar outline of the subject. In Bernd and Hilla Becher's typology of water towers, you see the similarity of the shape of water towers. The outlining shape stays in the same spot through out the whole series. However, everything else in the photos are changing besides this outlining shape. This is a quality of typology that expresses the conceptual properties of the series.

-Bernd and Hilla Bechers' typology featuring photos of glass furnaces visually display another quality of typologies. Through out the series, the Bechers take photos of various tall furnaces. Again you can see the similar outline of the subjects. All of the furnaces are built and constructed differently from one another but, still contain some similarity in the shape. The viewer of a typology can see easily spot the similarities and differences of the subjects. The combination of the two in a series shows us, that even know the subjects may look and work severely different from one another, it is still working and completing it's purpose.

-One quality I like of Bernd and Hillas' work is that most of the photos are taken of very big structures. Their photos are also taken of all parts of the object and its surroundings. The viewer has the ability to clearly spot the differences of the subjects. This quality of the photographs leads to a lot of the conceptual ideas about the subjects differences I talked about before.
