100 Architects Drawings and Sketches
Bill LacyHow does an
architect envisage a building? And how is that idea first explored?
Architecture is one of the few remaining professions whose practitioners draw
on papers and in which drawing is essential to the very creation of an idea or
project. The dots, squiggles and shadings are the architect’s personal calligraphic
shorthand, and are as much about describing a new space as they are about a way
of seeing.
Architect Bill
Lay, whose own career spans the professional and academic worlds, has selected
100 significant figures from across the globe for this first-ever survey of
drawings by architects. Frank Gehry, Han Hollein, Tadao Ando, Emilio Ambusz,
James Stirling and Aldo Rossi are among the well-known names whose works are
presented; and the buildings featured include cultural institutions, hospitals,
airports, financial centers, parks, private residences, and pure feats of the architect’s
imagination: al shown at the first instant of conception, when the drawing of
an idea is freest from the constraints of client, time and budget.
All the drawings
included are from the hand of the architect, and in them we see every kind of
modern building from residential to commercial high-rise — and every style of
contemporary architecture from high modernism to individual work. Each example complemented
by a short essay on the architect and his or her achievements, and a photograph
of the resulting model or built project. Biographies of all the architects complete
the book.
The history of architecture
is rich with examples of master course of the spirits whose drawings alone have
altered the course of discipline. 100 Contemporary Architects celebrates the continuity
of this great tradition, witch underlines some of the most influential
architecture of our time.
