New York-based designer Xinran Ma has illustrated a New Year's greeting card that assembles pieces of various brutalist and modernist architecture. Meant to go beyond a simple greeting card, Ma has said that these buildings have gradually become forgotten, and that his creation is part of his mission to “to defend, memorize, and deliver the classics that I believe are immortal.”
Each building used in the greeting card has its own separate illustration, which makes 18 in all. Check out all of the illustrations at ArchDaily.
