Architectural Illustrations by Nathan Freise
First exhibited in July 2008 at New York’s School of Visual Arts, these illustrations by Nathan Freise depict futuristic architectural scenarios with complex layers of images produced with a variety of mediums. Freise combined ink, graphite, and marker with photography and computer graphics to create utopian images which he says, “question our current conditions of suburban sprawl and urban master-planning.” The illustrations portray iconic urban infrastructure contrasted against distinctly modern architectural interventions, creating images that manage to feel both vintage and futuristic.
Freise is widely recognized for his work alongside his brother, with whom he produces short films, images, and narratives in the same vein as his illustrations. Their most known work is their short film “The Machine Stops,” based on the 1909 short story by E.M. Forster of the same title.
