There something about architectural sketches that are so captivating. Maybe its the detail contained within them, maybe its the architects ability to communicate their design intend through the mediums of pencil and paper or maybe its something else, but one think that is certain is that these sketches are a true art form in their own right.

This sketch appeared on Reza Asgaripour’s Instagram channel recently. The caption describes it as a Morphology, regrading and study of Richard Meier works – the Museum of Contemporary Arts. On first glance I am reminded (by the top part of the sketch) of the now demolished old Ritz Cinema on the banks of the river Shannon in Athlone town. A building that commanded a prominent place in the town and is credited to another great architect Michael Scott (architect).
