travel art

San Francisco design group, Publique Living, has created an art series named GRAFIK180: CITYART. Inspired by the distinctive architectural element from buildings around the world, each piece calls out a pattern or shape that is iconic to that specific building in that specific city. The chosen cities are identified by their 3-letter airport code stamped in the center, creating another layer of graphic distinction. The codes also seem to emphasize the notion of travel and destination - the airport being the entry and exit point to these cities - and let me daydream of visiting or re-visiting some of these cities in hopes to identify the architectural elements that these designers chose. Each "city" is so interesting but I think this composition of all of them grouped together creates a treat to the eye.
Whether it's a local or distant weekend, have a good one~!
