See the City!

The Swedish Museum of Architecture, Anders Kornestedt, Signage

These are signs for the Swedish Museum of Architecture posted around Stockholm. They are frames attached to posts and are positioned so that they frame a significant architectural landmark when viewed from the correct angle. The 3-dimensional depth of the frame helps to add to the illusion of it appearing to look like a picture. Very eye-catching! The added benefit of this signage is that it reminds the population of the beauty of their own surroundings. It points out views and landmarks that are taken for granted.

Wouldn't that be odd to see something like that around champaign-urbana. I like the concept though, you can see the surrounds as a whole, or you can see a landmark, site, or object that is well known through a little hole blocking out the noise of the rest of the landscape.
