The ABC of Architects from fedelpeye on Vimeo.

SEETIES From Alvar Aalto to Zaha Hadid. This one-and-a-half-minute video by Andrea Stinga and Federico Gonzalez is an alphabetical list of the most important architects with their best known building. A lot of them have been left out with grief because they only needed one for each letter and they did an effort to have different nationalities. “The ABC of Architects” is going to be in an exhibition at the Royal Academy of Arts in London.

Federico Gonzales, a Graphic Designer and Visual Artist from Colombia but based in Barcelona, mainly focused on animation and motion graphics. Site: www.fedelpeye.tv | Vimeo: fedelpeye | Tumblr: fedelpeye.tumblr.com.
