Everything’s a Building by Felipe de Castro

When you’re thinking like an architect, everything can be a building. Yes, even that crinkle-cut fry.

That’s the idea behind this impressive and witty series by Brazil-based architect Felipe de Castro.

An ongoing collection of everyday items are photographed, and then lovingly transformed into realistic building sketches.

A casual stack of binders? An avant-garde gallery space. A copy machine? A multi-function plaza with balcony. Heck, even a bowl of salad is transformed into a modern building with a green space at its center.

It proves that with the right creativity, an architect can see the potential in any shape, no matter how strange or unorthodox.

    I can really appreciate this.
    I did stained glass professionally for close to 30 years and somewhere along the way I had gotten so I could turn everything into a stained glass pattern.
