By (author): David Leatherbarrow Eric Parry Owen Hopkins

Eric Parry is an architect who draws. This book is about the interaction and relationship of those two practices - of drawing as design tool, and as a way of engaging with the world in which buildings exist and which they play a part in shaping

The text comprises a dialogue between Parry and Owen Hopkins, Senior Curator at Sir John Soane's Museum, London, which is the venue for an exhibition of Parry's drawings in spring 2019. The dialogue is arranged across ten episodes relating to themes and ideas that emerged over a series of conversations during the creation of the exhibition. At once self-contained and part of a broader whole, these episodes meditate on the meaning, medium and culture of architectural drawing.

An essay by David Leatherbarrow, Professor of Architecture and Chairman of the Graduate Group in Architecture at the University of Pennsylvania, offers a counterpoint, providing both a detailed analysis of Parry's drawing practice and context for the preceding dialogue.
