Features: This is a sketchbook primarily focused on architectural drawings, though it also includes some highly expressive figures. The main subjects are buildings, environments, and details from both domestic and international locations. Traditional sketches are no longer merely preliminary drawing drafts. Since the 18th century, sketches have acquired a new meaning, evolving into an art form in itself—a drawing that records observations and feelings using simple tools. This has given sketches a new artistic value. In the protection of historical and cultural cities and their heritage, Wang Jinghui has gained considerable acclaim. Over the past 40 years, Wang has consistently sketched on-site while collecting design materials, visiting historical sites, and exploring scenic landscapes, engaging with buildings through sketches with sketchbooks, pencils, and charcoal. This book is a collection of Wang Jinghui’s architectural sketches, featuring works such as Todai-ji Temple, Kyoto alleyways, and Oslo streets.
