Bernd and Hilla Becher are both photogrpahers that look at typologies.

Bernd and Hilla Becher were both German conceptual (installation) artists and photographers. They worked as a collaborative duo and are best known for their extensive series of typographies of industrial buildings and structures.

“The husband and wife team of Bernd and Hilla Becher began photographing together in 1959. Bernd and Hilla Becher documented architectural forms referred to as “anonymous sculpture” for over thirty years. Their extensive series of water towers, blast furnaces, coal mine tipples, industrial facades, and other vernacular industrial architecture comprise an in-depth study of the intricate relationship between form and function.” – Fraenkel Gallery
