Sketchbook No. 76

"Sketchbook No. 76 "is the reproduction of a sketchbook of the renowned Portuguese architect and last year's Pritzker Prize laureate, Eduardo Souto de Moura. The sketchbook was in use between September 2011 and January 2012 and records first ideas, fleeting sketches, studies, and spontaneous jottings that offer a starting point for every project but also function as a working resource. One can quite literally experience the architectural design process and how developing existing ideas are further developed in different variants. "Sketchbook No. 76" is a homage to the medium of drawing and manifests that this working method remains an essential element of the creative process.
