Drawn by Design – The Art of Architecture

Art Atrium will host the exhibition ‘Drawn by Design – The Art of Architecture’ focusing on drawings and sketches by prominent Australian architects as part of the Art Month program in March 2012. Architects participating in this exhibition include Camilla Block, Malcolm Carver, Philip Cox, Neil Durbach, Richard Goodwin, David Holm, Chris Johnson, Colin Madigan, Glenn Murcutt, Paul Pholeros, Peter Stutchbury, Alec Tzannes, Tone Wheeler, Ken Woolley. Art Atrium director and architect Simon Chan said: “Drawing and sketching for a lot of architects are an integral part of their design process. A simple sketch or drawing can form the basis of a design concept that will be further developed and refined. A sketchbook in the hands of an architect is also the equivalent of a camera for a photographer or a journal for a writer. This exhibition captures the way different architects utilize sketches and drawings at work and at play.’
