Building Blocks

So im working on a project for my gd4 class... I have to make a creative calendar that has one consistent theme, and i can use any format and any dimension. My theme is architecture..I planning on focusing on one famous architect per page (with 2 months dedicated to each page). The typography and numerical design has to be very playful yet functional.. I also have to include additional information on each artist. I started looking at various architectural movements in the 20th-21th century such as modernism, bauhaus, structuralism, deconstructionism, formalism, post-modernism, organic..etc
Basically a lot of shit to look through

The artists I've chosen so far are:
Zaha Hadid (Iraq)
Frank Gehry  (Canada)
Eero Saarinen (Finland)
Walter Gropius (Germany)
Tom Wright (England)
Arata Isozaki (Japan)

One of the tough parts about this project is that I can only use typography for my imagery. So I basically have to create abstract architecture with letters. I cant use any real pictures or color. I think this will be really good bc I it push me to really work on the core of my design (as far as pure form).
