Set for February 2016 release is Skies of Concrete, Austrian architectural photographer Gisela Erlacher's exploration of how people adapt remnants of inhospitable urban places for human use.

A house squeezed between two bridges in her native Vienna inspired her to travel to China, Britain and the Netherlands to photograph vacant and disused spaces created by transportation construction. The focus is what's between and beneath bridges, viaducts and multistory highways. What's there? housing; parking; storage; but also skate parks, tea houses and food stalls in varying shades of legality.
