George Saumarez Smith, a director of ADAM Architecture, is
celebrated for the elegance of his work as one of Britain's
foremost classical architects. As a student at Edinburgh
University, he belonged to the last year group to be taught the
skill of measured drawing as part of the core syllabus and it would
become a passion for him. Sketchbooks: Collected Measured Drawings
and Architectural Sketches presents a selection of the drawings
that he has made in the last twenty-five years in a series of
sketchbooks each of which is named after one of the Roman emperors.
The drawings display a supreme mastery that goes beyond technique
and assumes the status of art. They constitute a series of
concentrated observations on buildings from different parts of the
world which unlock the secrets of their design and give insight
into the minds of their creators. Simply by applying pencil to
paper, aided only by a tape measure and ruler to measure the
building in front of him, George pursues an adventure in the world
of built form whose aesthetic beauty will both amaze and delight.
