The Art of the Architect celebrates the role that drawing and watercolor painting play in architecture. Architectural drawing as we know it dates from the Renaissance, but with the arrival of computer design programs this ancient art—formed of pen, pencil, and brushstrokes on paper—is sometimes regarded as obsolete. Architect Michael Imber will demonstrate what a vital contribution they can still make at every stage of an architectural project.

Whatever the place occupied by photographs, simulations, and visual graphics in the design process of today, hand drawing still facilitates a moment of deeper connection between an architect and his environment. Unlike a snap taken on a smart phone, a hand drawing is an active response to its subject: what is understood about a place in sensory terms informs the finished design, creating buildings which maintain the balance between the way we live and the natural world around us.

Michael鈥檚 sketches allow him to visualize his environment more clearly, and they provide an immediate visual language with which he can communicate with his team, craftsmen, and clients resulting in authentic and timeless architecture connecting to the landscape.

Following the presentation, join us for a post-event reception and book signing at the Somerset Club, generously hosted by Michael Carter.
