Summary:
The resurgence of drawing is not merely a retrograde trend, but an affirmation of the continued importance of sketching as part of the design process. Architects' Sketchbooks presents pages from the private sketchbooks of a wide international spectrum of architects, who use drawing to express their spatial ideas while revealing their unique thought processes. Sketches from some 85 architects and studios are featured, including Will Alsop, Architects Atelier Ryo Abe, Shigeru Ban, Elemental, Thom Faulders, Norman Foster, Carlos Jiménez, Alessandro Mendini and Office dA. Their works range from simple line drawings and clear perspectives to more abstract, artistic compositions, from quick freehand to measured mapping, from spontaneous squiggles on scrap paper to careful drawings on art paper. Accompanying texts by editor Will Jones include comments by the architects and profile how they use sketches to help evolve their initial inspirations and concepts into more developed ideas, revealing the artistry behind the built world.

Summary:
This book deals with the critical nature and crucial role of architectural drawings. A manual which is essentially not a manual; it is an elucidation of an elegant manner for practising architecture. Organized around eleven exercises, the book does not emphasize speed, nor incorporate many timesaving tricks typical of drawing books, but rather proposes a slow, meditative process for construing drawings and for drawing constructing thoughts.

Summary:
La plupart des ouvrages consacrés à l'architecture présentent des projets aboutis, que ce soit sous forme de dessins finalisés, souvent réalisés par ordinateur, de maquettes finales ou même de photographies de la construction achevée. Cependant ces différentes visualisations ne disent rien du processus de conception du projet, rien de sa véritable genèse. Or croquis, ébauches, esquisses et dessins préliminaires jouent un rôle primordial dans la création architecturale, et c'est souvent dans ces premiers traits tracés sur la feuille que naît le concept directeur du projet à venir. Le présent ouvrage nous invite à un fascinant voyage au coeur même de la création architecturale en donnant à voir, souvent pour la première fois, les carnets de croquis de 85 architectes.

Summary:
La perspective est une technique indispensable pour l'artiste comme pour le graphiste, mais elle paraît souvent un peu rébarbative et difficile à assimiler. Le dessin de perspective par l'exemple propose une approche résolument pédagogique qui laisse à chacun le loisir de progresser à son rythme en trouvant les explications qu'il recherche. Que vous soyez artiste confirmé ou amateur, designer, graphiste, vous trouverez dans ces pages matière à vous perfectionner. Après un bref historique de la représentation des volumes à travers les siècles, vous commencerez par bâtir des perspectives simples d'après nature. Progressivement, vous découvrirez les perspectives à deux ou trois points de fuite, et la représentation de volumes de plus en plus complexes. Puis vous apprendrez à renforcer les perspectives en jouant sur les ombres et la lumière, à donner une idée de l'échelle en ajoutant des personnages, à appliquer des trames et des textures aux objets. Agrémenté de nombreux exemples et d'illustrations détaillant pas à pas la construction des perspectives, ce livre deviendra vite votre référence absolue. Avec plus de 600 dessins et schémas, la mise en pages aérée a été conçue pour vous permettre d'annoter les pages et d'ajouter vos propres croquis et commentaires.

Summary:
This catalogue is dedicated to works on paper by the German Romantic artist (1774-1840) and offers a revealing perspective on the function of drawing in his creative process while also making apparent the substantive beauty of his works. Chosen from among major European museums and private collections - most of which have rarely been exhibited - these works of delicate beauty, meticulously rendered en plein air, were subsequently utilized by the artist as components of a modern system of pictorial architecture with which he constructed, far from nature - in his studio - the sublime landscapes that have made him the most celebrated painter of German Romanticism.
