OVERVIEW

Exploring Modern and Post-Modern disciplines and approach through the study of industrial designers and architects.  The objective was to research an architect and design a piece that communicates the architect's ideas, working methods, or approach to their environment. Each architect creates a product of their time and place in which they were from, but the processes are unique to each individual and their process.

After conducting extensive research on Mario Botta, a post-modern Swiss architect, I chose to design a series of three posters that are some of Botta’s most known architectural buildings. To showcase his focus on symmetry, space, and geometry I designed extensive line drawings that break down the architectural elements to there simplest form using line drawings, similar to blueprints.
