Summary:

Sergei Tchoban is a German architect of Russian origin, who has won numerous awards and who works and teaches internationally. In addition to his architectural practice, he has created an impressive number of drawings which oscillate between personal artistic expression and urban, architectural fantasies. They are frequently exhibited. In 2009, he founded the Tchoban Foundation to provide a home for his first-class collection of architectural drawings that covers several centuries. In 2013, the Foundation opened the Museum for Architectural Drawing in Berlin. Alongside the permanent collection, it puts on three to four temporary exhibitions every year.0In this book, this architect, artist, collector and museum founder engages in four discussions with well-known Berlin architectural curator Kristin Feireiss, and talks for the first time about his fascination for these activities, and how he sees the world, the medium of drawing and architecture. These discussions are supplemented by an essay written by writer and broadcaster Deyan Sudjic, former Director of the London Design Museum.
