Whimsical & informative designs of Modern Architecture’s most famous buildings, available in print packs & posters

My name is Michie and I'm currently an Interaction Design grad student at the School of Visual Arts in New York. I’d like your help in creating Archigrams, a curated print series of famous modern architecture buildings!

What I find so fascinating about modern architecture is their simple, geometric forms and the themes and concepts that are embedded within them. As an architecture undergrad at UCLA, I studied all the iconic ones and have since become a big fan of them, like the Villa Savoye and the Glass House. But because they're so big and expensive, it's pretty impossible for me to own a piece of it.

What if you could collect your favorite architecture buildings in an elegant and artistic way?

In a quest to make architecture accessible to everyone, I illustrated some of the most well-known modern architectural icons and created Archigrams - unique print collectibles that you can actually keep and display in 5x7 print packs and 18x24 posters.

Archigrams consists of 10 designs, made to reflect the beautiful simplicity and whimsy of the building it highlights.  The buildings, all of which carry an architectural significance include:

• Eames House by Ray and Charles Eames
• Villa Savoye by Le Corbusier
• Fallingwater by Frank Lloyd Wright
• Gropius House by Walter Gropius
• Farnsworth House by Mies Van Der Rohe
• Glass House by Philip Johnson
• 30 St. Mary Axe by Norman Foster
• Niteroi Contemporary Art Museum by Oscar Niemeyer
• Muller House by Adolf Loos
• Schroeder House by Gerrit Rietveld

For those of you who don't know much about architecture, fear not! The back of every print in the 5x7 print pack comes with interesting information about the building highlighted, including the architect name, architect quote, date built and a brief description of why it’s so special. The last print will be a glossary page of related term definitions and visuals that you can reference as you read through the building descriptions...Continue Reading
