This richly illustrated volume showcases the impressive collection of architectural drawings assembled by Alvin Boyarsky during his tenure as chairman of the Architectural Association School of Architecture in London from 1971 until his death in 1990. A unique opportunity to consider rarely seen drawings by some of the most prominent architects and artists of our time—including Frank Gehry, Zaha Hadid, Daniel Libeskind, Mary Miss, Rem Koolhaas, Eduardo Paolozzi, Bernard Tschumi, and Shin Takamatsu, among others—this book offers the first extensive examination of Boyarsky's collection within the context of a time when the imaginative spirit of drawing emerged as a key instrument in the production of a blossoming international culture of architecture.
