Villa Savoye
Planned by Charles-Édouard Jeanneret-Griz (1887-1965), Le Corbusier, one of the fathers of architectural functionalism, the Villa Savoye is an emblem of modern housing. Built in 1929, it is located in Poissy, near Paris. Conceived as a machine à habiter, its design brings together the five points of the New Architecture dictated by Le Corbusier himself. Destroyed during the Second World War, it was declared a National Architectural Heritage site by the French government in 1963 and subsequently restored. It is currently a house-museum. It owes its name to the surname of its first owner, Pierre Savoye, a wealthy businessman. The house is part of Le Corbusier's architectural work, declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2016 for its exceptional contribution to the Modern Movement. The German newspaper Mannheimer Morgen devoted the pages of its Grafik der Woche (Infographics of the Week), a regular section of its Saturday supplement, to this symbol of 20th century architecture.

Digital SLR Camera
This section cut of a digital SLR camera attracted the attention of the editors of the Saturday supplement of the Mannheimer Morgen. The infographic was published in the fixed section Grafik der Woche (Infographics of the Week) of this German newspaper, with regional distribution in the Rhineland. An SLR camera is a photographic device with an optical system that allows the user to see directly, through the viewfinder, the image to be captured, without deviations. The result is achieved thanks to a mirror that reflects exactly, in the viewfinder, the image that is focused through the objective.

Cheetah
With the title Meister des Sprints (Master of the Sprint), the cheetah, the fastest land mammal, was featured in the Grafik der Woche (Infographics of the Week) section of the Saturday supplement of the German newspaper Mannheimer Morgen. The client inserted the original infographic, without altering its distribution. The cheetah is a felid from the African savannah that achieves a top speed of 120 km/h and keeps it up for 500 m, chasing a prey. In only three seconds it is capable of running at 95 km/h. A large cat, the cheetah has an anatomy adapted to running: a large heart, lungs and nostrils to pump more oxygen and blood, a long tail to balance the run, feet without retractable nails, and a slender body. The blade also includes the flying squirrel and the sloth as contrast elements.
