Drawing on Drawing

David Holm / 2015

Architectural Drawing
Italy

An architect’s Grand Tour of Italy to reconnect with the power of the hand-drawn line on imagination and learning. This project aimed to explore the intangible connections between observing, drawing and an architect’s imagination.

This research explores the connection between ideas and drawing and the expression of the imagined into communicable forms, defining the connections between observation and perception, ideas and drawing; key to understanding the psyche of the architect. Design, which, by another name is called drawing... is the font and body of painting, sculpture and architecture...the root of all sciences.

The study resulted in the publication of two illustrated works by the author: Drawing Italy and Drawing Paris.
