Barcelona-based architect and graphic designer, Federico Babina, has unveiled his latest illustration series, PLANIMAL. In the series, featuring 25 illustrations, the Italian artist reimagines a variety of animals as common plans of architectural spaces, such as houses, museums, and churches.
He follows his imagination within a space to give it a surreal shape. Through his conceptual planivolumetric zoo, Babina explores the connection between architecture and nature.
Babina has a unique architecture-inspired style and subtle sense of humor that helps tell the story behind each illustration. The artist admits that he tries to rediscover the world through the eyes of a child as they “are able to have a vision of things totally uninhibited and without the conditioning of the experience”.
He uses his creativity to merge architecture with unplanned everyday life encounters. He has previously imagined mental illnesses as chillingly abstract house designs and illustrated houses for famous directors based on their distinctive style, among other fascinating projects.
Check out some of his awesome work.
