An elegant presentation of stunning and inspiring architectural drawings from antiquity to the present day
Throughout history, architects have relied on drawings both to develop their ideas and communicate their vision to the world.
This gorgeous collection brings together more than 250 of the finest architectural drawings of all time, revealing each architect's process and personality as never before. Creatively paired to stimulate the imagination, the illustrations span the centuries and range from sketches to renderings, simple to intricate, built projects to a utopian ideal, famous to rarely seen - a true celebration of the art of architecture.
Visually paired images draw connections and contrasts between architecture from different times, styles, and places. From Michelangelo to Frank Gehry, Louise Bourgeois to Tadao Ando, B.V. Doshi to Zaha Hadid, and Grafton to Luis Barragán, the book shows the incredible variety and beauty of architectural drawings.

Library Journal Review
Thomas (architecture, ETH Zurich) presents 250 architectural images in large format. Produced by artists and master builders as well as architects, these selections are very diverse. They range over thousands of years, for sites around the globe, buildings of many types and styles, and a variety of visual projections. Each is given a brief interpretative essay. While images are not placed in any sequence, the author often matches those with some visual similarity or contrast on facing pages. A time line of thumbnails is provided as an appendix. Some of the images are known from architectural publication, like Mies van der Rohe's 1921 graphite perspective of a glass-clad office tower. Many are preliminary sketches or archived construction documents. In any case, a great deal of accomplished artistry and draftsmanship is displayed. The original media include inked scrolls, penciled outlines, engraving, colored renderings for presentation, computer-aided design printouts and a WhatsApp collaborative message. -VERDICT Thomas has made a prodigious research effort to gather these representations of buildings and provide a description and context for each. In this variety she has captured the essence of architecture. Recommended for large or specialized collections.-David R. Conn, formerly with Surrey Libs., BC © Copyright 2019.
