Dear Nina
Are the sketch books in Glasgow? I would be interested in seeing a sample of what is in them, also what time span they cover. Kingston has a strong interest in drawing and as the School of Architecture and Landscape embedded in the same building as art and design at Kingston (I think the only one to be so closely integrated in UK?) there is a strong drawing element in the architecture courses. On a personal level my subject matter spans the built environment .
with thanks

Subject: architect's sketchbooks
Hi all,
I am new to the group and so I realise I have just missed the chance to get involved in the sketchbook show in Lincoln.
My late father was an architect and I have a box full of his sketch books going back about 40 years. Whilst these are obviously of interest to me as a daughter, is there any interest in the wider world in these things? Do they get archived if you are not Lord Foster or the like? I would be keen to make them available to a serious researcher or library if so.
Regards
Dr Nina Baker
