Jan Kaplický Sketches

Architects do not draw anymore. The art is almost forgotten. Sketches from childhood days, architectural school to practising architect. Spanning 60 years. First sketch, first idea, first concept. Sketches of single building elements and sketches of whole buildings. Formal sketches for presentation. Draw at home, office, open country, train or 10,000 metres above the ground. This book shares intimate moments with the public. A record of private process. A process which can not be replaced by machine. At least not yet. The introduction by Zaha Hadid has been written specially for this book. A unique book.
