Pointless Diagrams is a blog created by Josh Lewandowski that is filled with "meaningless" diagrams and drawings. Lewandowski is an architect from Minnesota and the founder of Nordeast, a furniture design studio. The blog is updated daily with drawings of buildings that will never be.
Lewandowski started Pointless Diagrams because he believes that aimless doodling is actually beneficial. LEGO, architecture and cereal boxes are just a few of the things that inspire these illustrations. All of the pieces are done in pen and are available for purchase. Each drawing features one or two familiar things, such as staircases or ladders. That being said, each one is completely unique and unlike anything you're likely to have come across before, owing to the random nature of the project.
