Despite being at the forefront of high-tech innovation in
architecture, Chris Wilkinson obe ra is an architect who believes
passionately in the importance of drawing by hand. Where many
practices are now dominated by computeraided design, Wilkinson
still uses drawing as a way to think through ideas, to grapple with
design problems and as a tool of communication. This volume brings
together images selected from twenty years of Wilkinson's
sketchbooks, presenting a fascinating record not just of
draughtsmanship but of the creation of architectural narrative.
Covering every stage of the design process, this unique insight
into the working drawings of a hugely influential architect
includes sketches for many of his practice's most groundbreaking
works - from structures for the London Olympics to the restoration
and reconstruction of the three Grade II listed gas holders in
Kings Cross, London - as well as a gazetteer with photographs of
the final projects. Chris Wilkinson: Sketchbooks is both an
essential purchase for anyone interested in the development of
architectural draughtsmanship and a powerful demonstration of its
importance.
