I’ve got so many ideas swirling for my REFLECT (architectural abstractions) series. I’d love to bring in color, with either glass or paint. And, I’m thinking about smaller scale architectural forms. Which is how I ended up going back through my images from our extended stay in CDMX last spring. There was something so captivating about the attached 3-4 story multifamily buildings with simple facades that vary endlessly: small dimensional details and set backs, differences in detailing and grates, monochromatic through full color. Would love to explore a series of architectural structures with simple dimensional cues and then play with the vocabulary of windows and doors, grates and screens, textures and paint.
Some quick sketches of what I can imagine…

I love the idea of precision cut / painted elements in interaction with concrete textures and surface irregularities. Some color could be paint and other cut in glass.
