Drawings architecture designs and architects

Architectural drawings from designers such as Alan Dunlop – architecture drawing competitions and information plus images from around the world concerning architects’ design work.

We feature work by architect Alan Dunlop, one half of gm+ad architects. I first met him over twenty years ago, whilst being taught at Manhester University by Ian Simpson.

I was fortunate to be taught to draw and paint by my mother and grandfather, both keen artists. Therefore I drew my way through University, latterly coming under the wing of abstract draughtsman Neil Spiller at The Bartlett.

According to AD, “He must understand that in the exhilarating, awesome moment when he takes pencil in hand, and holds it poised above a white sheet of paper, that he has suspended there all that has gone before and all that will ever be. The creative act is all that matters.”
