Jan Kaplický - Sketches

It is a quite unique book. Hand drawn sketches by an architect. Architects do not draw anymore. The art is almost forgotten. Sketches from childhood days, architectural school to practising architect. Spanning 60 years. The book is a document, a record and almost an art book. First sketch, first idea, first concept. Sketches of single building elements and sketches of whole buildings. Formal sketches for a presentation. Sketches as genuine part of design process. Drawn at home, office, open country, train or 10,000 meters above the ground. This book shares intimate moments with the public. A record of an almost private process. The process which can not be replaced by machine. At least not yet. Introduction by another great architect and designer Zaha Hadid is written specially for this book.
