Skyscraper Wallpapers

Once a month starting back in January, the site I Like Architecture has been publishing these beautifully stylized portraits of famous contemporary skyscrapers from around the world, lovingly crafted by French illustrator Romain Trystram. Their exaggerated color palettes and simplified details emphasize the sci-fi, “architecture of the absurd” quality of building trends. Here is a small sampling:

HSB Turning Torso, Malmö, Sweden
Absolute World Towers, Ontario, Canada
CCTV Headquarters, Beijing, China

Trystram’s wallpapers for January through August are currently available at ilikearchitecture.net.
