The Architect Draws
Arquitect's
drawings tend to serve various functions. Some architects create sketches
to present to their clients a vision of how their work could result; others
draw for themselves and see thereby, in a clear and precise form, the
viability of certain ideas, whilst others draw to sharpen and exercise
their technique.
Eschewing strictly professional drawings as well as those done for simple
entertainment, we have brought together in this exhibition a testament
to the arquitect who draws. Halfway between art and architecture, these
drawings represent what is perhaps the last generation of architects trained
in draughtmanship prior to the ubiquitous use of computers. We have endeavoured
therefore to underscore their artistic interest and the unquestionable
aesthetic of the creative process of the architect as much as to render
homage to Josep Lluís Sert on the centenary of his birth, one of
the great architects of his generation who was friend, precisely with
the group of architects here presented.
