Chris Labrooy's Design Heroes

Chris Labrooy’s Design Heroes

November 7, 2011  |  From The Web

Chris Labrooy pays a wonderful homage to his design heroes – Zaha Hadid, Frank Ghery, Oscar Niemeyer, Tadao Ando, Toyo Ito & Ettore Sottsass by creating typography design based on the architecture, writing their name with it. How cool is that!

I would love to see some more architects showcased in this way… but here are the ones Chris made so far.

Zaha Hadid
