What if Famous Artworks Were Transformed Into Buildings?

What if painter Salvador Dali decided to also dabble in architecture and build a house? Or Andy Warhol a museum? It’s hard to deny the implicit relationship between art and architecture. So designer Federico Babina put together an interesting collection of architectural illustrations inspired by the different styles of famous artists.

“Art and architecture are disciplines that speak and lightly touch each other, the definition and function of the architecture are changing constantly with the development of contemporary art. I took pleasure imagining architecture steeped of art, designed and constructed through the interpretation of an artist’s language,” Babina said about the Archist project.
