If you can’t make it to some of the world’s most famous buildings IRL, the next best thing is to take them with you. Drop-a-Pin is a new project that reimagines famous buildings as enamel pins.
Started by a husband-wife duo of an architect and graphic designer, the pins were a way to commemorate their five years of traveling to document famous buildings around the world.
The pins are adorable miniatures of some of architecture’s most revered buildings, including the Eames House in Los Angeles, Le Corbusier’s Villa Savoye, and William Pereira’s Geisel Library in San Diego, There’s also a “Less is More” pin for all the Mies van der Rohe fans out there.
Despite their compact size, the pins don’t skimp on details (just look at the colored panels on the Eames House), which make them an impressive homage to some very complex buildings. You can pick up a pin, or three, on Indiegogo or just ogle them on Drop-a-Pin’s Instagram.
