About this Event
Join us for a visit to the unique archive that is Drawing Matter, a place to touch and see the best architectural drawings dating from the Renaissance to the present day.
We will start by exploring the collection of James Gowan, the architect responsible for the Trafalgar Road, Greenwich, housing estates of the mid 1960s, including his exquisite coloured drawings and sketchbooks. We will then explore other masters' drawings, such as Lutyens, Frank Lloyd Wright and many more.
Architectural historian Neil Bingham will provide an introduction to the collection.
Drawing Matter is a charitable trust that explores the role of drawing in architectural thought and practice, through workshops for students and practitioners, public events, exhibitions, and publications, both physical and digital. Central to our activities is the Drawing Matter Collection of many thousands of architectural and design drawings from across the world. https://drawingmatter.org/
