The architects combine shapes and perspectives constantly, why not triangulate their faces/caras?

this was the question by Yannick Martín.
What about our famous architectural faces braked down in triangles into a cube?
The word 'Cara' in spanish, is use to describe the side of a geometry, but also the visage of a person.
Both of the meaning have been put together in this work.
Series of architects portrait made using the triangulation technique of illustration.
The idea was then to play with forms and geometry, illustrating the infinities of possibilities that exist to combine surfaces together to finally represent a subject. On the other side, architects also always questions combination of forms.
Using color was my way of exploring and showing that with the same portrait areas and the same quantity of triangles, it is possible to find infinite combinations of graphics. Finding as many graphics as I could was particularly interesting to me, as architects are always looking for different perspectives and different possibilities to combine volumes together.
