A lively illustration series that turns principles of connectivity, public life, mixed use and urban identity into approachable architectural scenes.
Role
Explainer illustration
Concept development
Urban communication
Tools & Knowledge
Digital drawing
Architectural knowledge
Visual simplification
Approach
I personified buildings and arranged them in simple axonometric scenes, using gestures and expressions to reveal the effect of paths, courtyards, green space, mixed uses, heritage and physical barriers. A warm architectural palette and soft blue backdrop unify the sequence.
Outcome
Twelve concise explainer illustrations that make urban relationships tangible, human and easy to discuss across lectures, presentations and public-facing communication.
