Prague’s Brutalist Buildings Illustrated by Tomas Brechler

Tomas Brechler has created an illustration series of Prague’s iconic brutalist buildings.

Tomas Brechler is a Czech illustrator and graphic designer who lives and works in Prague. With his passion for vector illustrations and the interest in architecture, he has started this personal project in 2016 with the aim to depict iconic brutalist buildings from his hometown of Prague.

“These buildings are often seen as hideous derelicts of socialist era and either insensibly rebuilt or demolished right away to make building space,” Tomas says.

Below you can find his illustrations. For more, feel free to visit Tomas Brechler’s website or follow him on Behance or Instagram.
