paul eis envisions his formalismus series with a playful and colorful expression

german architectural designer and photographer paul eis presents a collection of whimsical envisioned spaces with his formalismus series. the works are created as a rejection of the dull monotony of typical housing developments throughout berlin, proposing instead a series of colorful towers made up of more playful geometries. the designer began the exploration by transforming austere, pre-existing towers with vibrant colors. now, the work has evolved into a newly designed group of towers marked by patterned arcades and boldly colored vaulting.

with his formalismus series, paul eis suggests a sunny or tropical context. sunny foliage blooms through rows of pink or yellow arches, with palm trees suggesting the warm climates of florida or los angeles while stone pines recall the hills of rome. largely expressive of rounded and curving elements, the towers are defined by a white shell wrapping a vibrantly colored interior. the works are defined by a language of classical elements hybridized with contemporary geometries and color palettes, resulting in a surreal architectural dreamscape.
