Competition: win a copy of We Build Drawings by Mikkel Frost
In our latest competition, we're offering 10 readers the chance to receive a book of sketches and watercolours by Mikkel Frost, a founding partner of architecture studio CEBRA.
The architect's focus on drawing as an efficient way to communicate ideas within the design process is showcased through over 200 artworks from selected projects by the Danish studio.
Titled We Build Drawings, the book prioritises Frost's notion that architects don't build buildings, but build an idea instead: "To visualise it," he explained, "we build drawings."
We've teamed up with the architect and Frame Publishing to give away a copy of We Build Drawings to 10 winners.
Divided into 21 projects, Frost's drawings and sketches narrate CEBRA's works including The Iceberg, Experimentarium, HF & VUC Fyn education centre and Children's Home for the Future. The publication follows his TEDxAarhus talk last year, titled Let Your Fingers Do The Talking!. A transcript of the talk is printed at the start of the book as its introduction.
In it, he justifies his style and proposes drawing as a way to appeal to organisations and clients who struggle to read technical architectural plans.
"I've developed a new drawing typology based on cartoons and comic books, a visual language people are familiar with," Frost explained in the talk.
Polished renderings for projects, he said, visualise the finished building but omit the reasoning behind the ideas that make up the design.
