Portuguese illustrator André Chiote living in Oporto speaks about architecture. His medium of expression are not words. Through drawing, he has been (successfully) trying to transfer his understanding of uniqueness and universality of the contemporary design. His minimal and essential graphic works neatly represent iconic architecture. Despite only few strokes and limited colors, we immediately recognize familiar silhouettes of award-winning world architectures. What is the purpose? Perhaps, through that he has been trying to reflect the value of individuality within the context of global architecture. Text by @NovozhilovaM. Images by André Chiote.
