As creative designers themselves! architects are interested in how other architects! particularly successful ones! think and draw and approach their work.

This collection of sketches aims to provide this insight. Here for the first time! a wide range of world famous architects' sketches from classical civilization to the present day can be seen in a single volume. The sketches have been selected to represent the concepts or philosophies of the key movements in order to develop an overall picture of the role of the sketch in the development of the history of architecture.
