Design for web- concept inspiration

My concept is loosely based on the same as 'windows of New York' which is simply a website of windows from around New York a graphic designer has illustrated. People might say 'what's the point?' but to me as a designer and lover of everything visual I think it's amazing. I'm experiencing New York through the designers perspective, documenting an entire building in a feature that may be obscured by the enormity of New Yorks buildings.

What is it?
'The windows of New York project is a weekly illustrated fix for an obsession that has increasingly grown in me since chance put me in this town. A product of countless steps of journey through the city streets, this is a collection of windows that somehow have caught my restless eye out from the never-ending buzz of the city. This project is part an ode to architecture and part a self-challenge to never stop looking up. I am a graphic designer living in New York City. I'm into all kinds of visual things, sharing good stuff with great people, and apparently, staring creepily at windows'

Below are a few screenshots of the website, it is a continuous scroll down through each window that is set on a different coloured wall and simply has the building name and street underneath.


As I read this quote in the about section of the website I could have easily related his passion and journey to me and Dieter Rams. He designed at Braun for 40 years meaning there are easily a thousand products with his stamp on and I'm discovering new ones each time I research him, the excitement of finding new products is easily relatable to discovering New York. This concept pretty much solves my problem, I don't want to throw words at people to inform people about Dieter Rams, I want them to visually experience Dieter Rams through my eyes, what I see when I look at Dieter Rams products, they're experiencing a different perspective of the products.
