As usual, I missed #PortfolioDay, so here's my late entry: Klaus here. Architect, Theory and History Professor, Obsessive Draughtsman and cartoonist currently working for @Arquine. Sometimes, I draw comics on #architecture & the #city. Here, 2 pages from 'The Pneumatic Passage'.
#BrutalMonday: Writing a li'l about brutalism in Africa, so let's remember Rinaldo Olivieri's 'La Pyramide' (Abidjan, Ivory Coast, 1968-73), which attempted to translate the qualities of African markets into high-rise form (I) #Brutalist #Architecture 3rdworldarchitecture.wordpress.com/2018/05/16/la-…
#comics, #anime, #mangapolis: So, thru @erdna11 (follow him) I just learned of Makoto Kobayashi's OVA 'Dragon's Heaven' (1988), the most Moebius-esque thing to be found in anime form. It can be watched in its entirety here: youtube.com/watch? (1/2) v=5ktDpZQlrC4
#artistsontwitter: Hi, Klaus here. I'm an architect and scholar who writes and draws #cartoons on weird #architecture and #scifi stuff (regularly at @Arquine). For more, click on #klaussketches

#Comics, #architecture, & the #scifi #city: "In 1986, Moebius was approached by Disney’s park division, who had made a deal with George Lucas to give a makeover to Tomorrowland in Disneyland". This is a sample of what came out of it. fuckyeahjeangiraud.tumblr.com/page/5
It's not exactly #inktober material, but I'm currently inking thgis thing, so... || #comics #cartoons & #architecture & the #city: New cartoon for @arquine #102, which will apparently deal with the concept of Structure. #klaussketches (11) twitter.com/klaustoon/st…

#obsessivedraughtsmen: Let me continue this thread with some of Laurent Gapaillard's concept design for the #videogame Dishonored 2 (Arkane Studios, 2016). You can get a glimpse of them in 'The Art of...' book here: youtube.com/watch?v=FYyXwR… twitter.com/klaustoon/stat…
Howdy. Since I've been punishing you with the painstaking process for this, here you have a glimpse of my cartoon for upcoming @Arquine #100 (minus speech balloons). Click, zoom in, like, and RT, if you please. #architecture #cartoons #klaussketches

#PortfolioDay Hi, Klaus here. Architect, Theory and History Professor, Obsessive Draughtsman. Here are a few works for @Arquine from these past months. Please, feel free to click and enlarge. #architecture #cartoons #klaussketches
So, thanks, master, for so much. To everybody else, I recommend getting one of the many 'Valerian et Laureline' collections out there, or @EditionsDargaud's 2021 'L'Art de Jean-Claude Mézières', and rejoice in the beauty of his graphic oeuvre. Jean-Claude Mézières (1938 – 2022). twitter.com/klaustoon/stat…
Of course, if Mézières's influence on #scifi at large was huge, his direct (and uncredited) contributions to the #StarWars universe (confirmed by some of the people working on these films) were also a few. | RIP Jean-Claude Mézières (23 Sept 1938 – 23 Jan 2022), twitter.com/klaustoon/stat…
Oh, no. RIP Jean-Claude Mézières (23 Sept 1938 – 23 Jan 2022), the man who very much invented the rusty 'hi-tech' look of the future years before Star Wars took ot to the silver screen. The end of an era. #comics & #scifi #architecture twitter.com/EditionsDargau…
Today we sadly lost Ricardo Bofill Leví (5 Dec 1939 – 14 Jan 2022), a man whose later embracement of postmodernism somewhat overshadowed the brutal power of his work. Let me remember him through one of my fave works of his, 'La Fàbrica' in this matrioshka thread from October👇👇 twitter.com/klaustoon/stat…
A contemporary (gone) classic, and also a very-strange-at-first project on today's #BrutalMonday: Toyo Ito's introverted, mournful U House (White U) in Nakano-ku, Tokyo, Japan, 1975-76/d1997. #Brutalist #Architecture
#BrutalMonday A favorite design from a favorite 'mad architect', and also an internet classic. Yoji Watanabe: Gunkan Biru (the Battleship Building) / New Sky Building #3, (Shinjuku, Tokyo, Japan, 1972). #brutalist #architecture hiddenarchitecture.net/new-sky-buildi…
