This time we want to introduce a series of comic portraits that represent seventeen world-famous architects against their buildings in 8-bit manner. The series was created by a Barcelona-based architect and designer Federico Babina and entitled ARCHIPIX. However, we also thought that this work was a good chance to test our knowledge of famous architects and buildings. Moreover, the images look like screenshots from retro video game. So, we decided to turn this post into a sort of game and offer you to guess the architects and their projects on the images.
To check the answer, just click on a ‘+’ symbol below each image.
