    sketches
    A sketch is, by defini0on, immediate, crude,
    imprecise, in some ways it is ante-architectural. It
    is a stage of fixa0on, stability. They don’t all have
    the same clarity, the same evidence. I oBen add
    words. Not phrases, just single words. To make
    the way they are to be interpreted clearer. The
    silence, the mystery that surrounds a sketch
    cons0tutes a space in which thought is free.

    Dominique Perrault, in: Moleskin Notebook,
    “Dominique Perrault Architecture,” 2013

    When I draw, I think, talk, erase, switch from
    the plan to the sec0on, try again, add words to
    some lines. An illustrated choreography of
    thought in mo0on. It’s a process, a journey,
    more than a result. My drawings are the
    expression of a conceptual direc0on that has
    already been contextualised, localised,
    situated. They are not abstrac0ons.

    When contempla0ng Perrault’s sketches, we
    are able to localize such basic architecture
    themes; as for instance the rela0onship
    between the building and the site. We may see
    this in his sketches for the Teaching Bridge in
    Lausanne or the Arganzuela Footbridge in
    Madrid, both projects emphasizing a
    rela0onship between the construc0on and the
    horizontality of landscape, be it the Lac Léman
    in Lausanne or the Río Manzanares in Madrid.
    Dominique Perrault’s architecture links the
    conceptual with the poe0c. Clear geometric
    shapes are combined, contrasted, shiBed, and
    even deconstructed in order to create new
    spa0al sensa0ons. The choice of certain shapes
    reflect the func0onal program of a project in
    vigorous dialogue with the surrounding
    landscape or urban fabric.
