Welcome on my blog!

As far as I remember I have always been drawing.

As a kid I drew and imagined my games, my stories and my heroes.

Later I realized that I could also draw things so that they might become real.

That is what I do everyday as an architect. I make sketches of places and buildings that do not exist yet, I research by sketching what and how these places and buildings are meant to become.

To feed my creativity I need to observe and spend time registering all what has already been done before. I do it by sketching on location as an urban sketcher.

While sketching I take my time in a place, observing, feeling, understanding and apreciating it fully. I record through hand drawing, not knowing when it resurfaces while designing.

Most of all, sketching on location is a very nice way to connect with local people.

I am very happy to share on this blog some drawings and sketches I made on location as an urban sketcher.

I hope you'll enjoy it!

Arnaud
