Calling all architectural fans! You must go see The Met’s new exhibit Gothic By Design which features parchments from the 1300s and 1400s with amazing, detailed drawings of tracery and spires. Some of these drawings took decades with multiple architects conveying their ideas of structure and beauty!
It brings me back to my days at Parsons School of Design when we were tasked with drafting a detailed historic building. The hours of painstaking pencil drawing was exhausting but ultimately exhilarating. I can’t even imagine what these people accomplished in unforgiving ink drawings!!
