Some architectures are so outstanding that it is nearly impossible not to recognize them at first glance. This happens due to one or more characteristic features. If this elements are somehow removed, these buildings will fade and become one more in many. Which are the fundamental traces and details that grant an architecture building this status? 
The following collages were created in order to test the limits of the concepts 'known' and 'familiar' in architecture and explore until which point those interventions can be carried out for an emblematic building to become completely unrecognizable. 
Empire State Building, New York
Praça Roosevelt, São Paulo
SESC Pompéia, São Paulo
Unité d'Habitation, Marseille
