Just in time for our Fall Field Trip to DC, the National Building Museum is launching an exhibit based on the drawings of David Macaulay. As part of the kick off, Macaulay did a live drawing demonstration.The Washington Times looks at the exhibit and the implications for architecture at a time when fewer and fewer designers draw by hand (h/t Land + Living).
Picking up a pen or pencil to dream on paper is a tradition worth preserving, if only to encourage visual observation, creativity and literacy. As Mr. Macaulay is quoted in the exhibit, "I honestly think all of us would be better off if everyone took the time to draw, if for no other reason than the better we see, the more inevitable curiosity becomes."
Closer to home, The Hudson River Museum in Yonkers has the older exhibit, The Art of David Macauley, until Labor Day weekend.
