Studio Esinam's Landmarks and Elevations series of prints show architectural elevations of buildings that typify the urban centres they are located in.

Thin black line drawings on white paper are used to depict the architectural icons, illustrated by art director Josefine Lilljegren and architect Sebastian Gokah who set up the studio together in 2013.

"We portray architecture with the ambition to convey its qualities to an audience with a genuine interest for interior and exterior spaces," said the duo.

"Whether the unique feeling of a city, the texture of a facade or the balance of an interior space, our aim is to explore and communicate the deeper qualities of architecture by looking at it from new angles and presenting it in fresh and engaging ways."

To represent Berlin's landmarks, Studio Esinam chose to depict the towering structures of Berliner Siegessäule memorial monument in the Tiergarten park, the partly destroyed Kaiser Wilhelm Gedächtniskirche and the 1960s Fernsehturm Tower.

The larger version swaps the last two for the city's Palais Garnier – used as its Opera House – the Arc de Triomphe, the Pont Marie bridge and the newer Centre Georges Pompidou, by architects Renzo Piano and Richard Rogers.

The Kaknästornet TV tower, the City Library and the Concert Hall are included in the Elevations selection, while the Landmarks print features the dome-shaped Globen arena.
