Summary

We Build Drawings by Mikkel Frost, co-founder of Danish architecture firm CEBRA, explores the essential role of drawing in architectural creation. Rather than constructing buildings directly, architects construct ideas, which are brought to life through detailed sketches and watercolours. The book presents over 200 drawings across 20 sections, each linked to a specific CEBRA project, accompanied by an index of colour photographs and renders that showcase the translation of drawings into built structures. An introduction based on Frost's TEDx talk emphasises drawing as a vital tool for creativity and communication in architecture.

Description

Architects do not actually build buildings, says Mikkel Frost, co-founder of Danish architecture firm CEBRA. What we build is an idea. To visualise it, we build drawings. The evolutionary process of how aphorisms develop into precise architectural concepts is illustrated through a collection of Frost's sketches and watercolours.

Over 200 drawings are organised into 20 sections, each relating to one of CEBRA's projects. An index containing colour photographs and renders of their works further illuminates how the drawings are translated into reality.

Introducing the book, a written version of Frost's TEDx talk Let your fingers do the talking elaborates on the book's impetus: to bring a spotlight to the craft of drawing as a powerful tool for creation and communication.
