Description
A treasury of architectural drawing from the 16th century to the present day, this book explores the art and science of architectural representation. From the early designs of Palladio and Inigo Jones to contemporary styles, it showcases a rich visual history of architectural drawing, featuring over 200 full-colour reproductions of rare and previously unseen drawings from the RIBA Collections. The book delves into the techniques and methods used by architects throughout history, including back-of-envelope concept sketches, pen and ink perspectives, and digital drawings. Insightful commentary accompanies each drawing, making them accessible and engaging for readers. With a wide-ranging scope, this book offers a unique window into the soul of architectural drawing over the past five hundred years. Newly digitised material from the RIBA Collections adds a fresh perspective to the book, featuring designs by notable architects such as John Nash, Sir Edwin Lutyens, and Frank Lloyd Wright.
