Federico Babino Illustrations - Music into Architecture

Architect Federico Babino's collection of illustrations seems very interesting to me...He combines music with architecture, cities with architecture, artworks into architecture, architects into architecture, portraits into architecture and many more.

ARCHIMUSIC CITY

I think , the four beatles are represented by their faces- the glasses, the french beard, the slit eyes and the prominent nose! They are all wearing suits and their white shirts inside act as the windows into their souls....

Here, the hair is the most prominent thing, that defines him. Bach was known to be eccentric, thereby the representation of balconies coming out of his head. I think the red, denotes his eyes deteriorating and losing sight, which occured to him.

This illustration is denoted by Micheal Jackson's Thriller, where he is wearing a red and black outfit, along with the hand movement of his famous dance.

I think that Federico has connected music and architecture interestingly and made it seen like a fun exercise for everyone to try out. Merging the true nature of the artist into a building, he shows that music too, has similarities to architecture!
