Federico Gonzalez is the genius behind this stunning animation entitled The ABC of Architects which my favorite architects in the world — Swiss-based Herzog & de Meuron — just posted on their Facebook wall. The exquisitely designed vignette captures 26 of the world’s greatest architectural minds in caricaturized animation, and the creators went the extra mile to include as wide a range of countries from around the world as possible. The concept and animation was created by Andrea Stinag and Federico Gonzalez, with art direction by Federico as well, and the song “The Butterfly” is the song you are about to hear courtesy of Eugene C. Rose and George Ruble. For more great finds like this you can follow OMBU Architecture on Tumblr, and be sure to also check out Federico Gonzalez’s Vimeo Page. And for more great stories from the world of architecture be sure to visit FEELguide Architecture. Fans of FEELguide on Facebook might recognize the cover photo star of Mies van der Rohe’s 1929 Barcelona Pavilion which makes an appearance in the animation below as well.
