Sketch City

An architecture book for drawing

Following the success of CROQUIS, Steve Bowkett once again delights us with beautiful architectural drawings and, once again, encourages architects of all ages to imagine and express our own creative urban solutions, ranging from the playful to the academic. This new title focuses on the city, and presents architectural challenges such as: drawing an extension to the Cerdà Plan; making a collage with maps of Barcelona and London; drawing a new museum for your favorite artist inspired by the Dalí Theatre-Museum, or designing new colors for the historic facades of Girona.

In Bowkett's words: "This is not a book about how to draw, it is more of a diary, a sketchbook or even a manual... but the most important thing is that it should be fun to work with." This edition has benefited from the technical advice of architect Anna Fumadó Ciutat.
