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.
Brilliant!
Amazing, thanks for that real world example!
Real world example of this is the Oracle buildings at their headquarters in silicon valley, which look very much like old-school large database disk servers, reflecting their original database business. https://c4.wallpaperflare.com/wallpaper/183/321/212/oracle-headquarters-hd-five-blue-high-rise-commercial-buildings-wallpaper-thumb.jpg
