Architects' Drawing - June/July 2016
“ARCHITECTS’ DRAWINGS”
OPENING RECEPTION June 3rd 6-8pm
On view through July 30th
We are pleased to announce an exciting exhibition to celebrate the venerated art of the architect’s drawing. The show is co-curated by renowned architect, Mark McInturff, FAIA, winner of over 300 AIA awards, and architect and urbanist, Dhiru Thadani, winner of the Seaside Prize and author of The Language of Towns and Cities; A Visual Dictionary and Visions of Seaside: Foundations/Evolution/ Imagination/Built and Un-built.
Michael Graves wrote in an article for the New York Times in 2012;
“Architecture cannot divorce itself from drawing, no matter how impressive the technology gets. Drawings are not just end products: they are part of the thought process of architectural design. Drawings express the interaction of our minds, eyes and hands. This last statement is absolutely crucial to the difference between those who draw to conceptualize architecture and those who use the computer.”
Our goal for this exhibition is to celebrate drawings and sketches made by hand rather than digital representation and manipulation. We strive to curate a collection of the finest drawings and prints created by some of the most exceptional international, national and local architects. Noted architects include; Anthony Ames, Deborah Berke, Merill Elam, Rand Elliott, Ray Gindroz, Frank Gehry, Michael Graves, Stephen Holl, Rob Krier, Rodolfo Machado, Thom Mayne, Richard Meier, Andrea Ponsi, Antoine Predock, Michael Rotondi, Todd Williams
Local architects also represented include, Anthony Barnes, Janet Bloomberg, Robert Cole, Eason Cross, Olvia Demetriou, Jacobsen Architecture, David Jameson, Salo Levinas, Roger Lewis, Richard Loosle-Ortega, Travis Price, Milton Shinberg, James Smither, Ben Van Dusen, Richard Williams, Christan Zapatka
Some of the proceeds from sales will be donated to the National Building Museum for the care and maintenance of its collection (which includes a very large number of architectural drawings).
In partnership with the National Building Museum
