Description

Architecture Iconographies Survey by Matthew Wells This book explores the history and significance of architectural survey drawings, examining how they document and analyze existing buildings to inform design. Through focused studies on seven architects, it reveals the diverse forms and methods used in recording what already exists, as well as imagining what might be. The lavishly illustrated volume features works from the Drawing Matter collection, alongside commentaries by contemporary architects, showcasing the unique approaches of John Soane, Charles Robert Cockerell, Detmar Blow, Louis-Hippolyte Lebas, Henri Labrouste, Eugène Viollet-le-Duc, and Peter Märkli. The book is part of the Architecture Iconographies series, which considers architecture through its typologies and drawing practices. By understanding the history and methods of survey drawings, architects can gain new insights into design practice and explore fresh possibilities for their contemporary use.
