20 Buildings Inspired By Everyday Objects Drawn By Architect Felipe De Castro
Felipe de Castro is a 33-year-old Brazilian architect and urban planner based in Rio de Janeiro who sees almost everything around him as inspiration. The man draws unique buildings inspired by all sorts of everyday objects, and you’ll be surprised to see how easily he can turn something as simple as a USB stick or a pile of binders into a beautiful mansion or an office building.
In a recent interview with Bored Panda, Felipe said that at first, he used to do these “conversions” in his head since he was a kid and only started drawing them a few years ago. “Recently, I observed a pencil holder at my desk. I could imagine the construction of that pencil holder and I decided to draw it,” explained the architect. “I moved it to paper and created a construction from the proportion of this object on a larger scale. It’s a kind of creativity exercise.”
The artist seems to never be short of ideas, and his 65k fans are always looking forward to his latest rendition. Check out some of the best ones so far in the gallery below!
