Drawing Architecture

Throughout history, architects have used drawings both to develop their ideas and to communicate their vision to the world. Drawing Architecture brings together over 250 of the finest architectural drawings ever made, revealing each architect's process and personality like never before.

The illustrations are creatively put together to stimulate the imagination and span centuries, from sketches to renderings, from simple to complex, from realized projects to utopian ideas, from famous to rarely seen works. The visually paired images create connections and contrasts between architecture from different times, styles and places.

Featuring works by an incredibly diverse range of creatives, from Michelangelo to Frank Gehry, Louise Bourgeois to Tadao Ando, ​​BV Doshi to Zaha Hadid, and Grafton to Luis Barragán, the book demonstrates the enormous variety and beauty of architectural drawings.
