SKETCHY LOGIC continued from page 66
CARLO RATTI
portentous words and phrases like fixity, man today, and
alienation on an otherwise blank sheet of paper. With these
and many other artistic expressions, you get an instant feeling for an architect’s sensibility and personality in a way
that you rarely do from a finished building (or a photograph
of a building). As Will Jones writes in the introduction,
“A sketch is ultimately throwaway, and yet it has the potential
to capture a moment in time and an instant of pure inspiration.” Here we present four of our favorites from the book.
