Making my way from my dorm room to the Ecole d’Architecture along Paris’ Rue St. Jacques was a pleasure. One morning, I decided to draw sections across the street and through the varied building forms lining the Rue, their interesting rooftops punctuating the sky and a plaza opening up from the street canyon toward the south, close to my dorm. I may have been late to class that day.

I made the ink drawing while living in Paris for three weeks just after graduating from architecture school at Virginia Tech, invited by my professor to participate in an international design charrette. I used watercolor to enliven and re-interpret the drawing here, in December 2022.

Welcome to my Travel Sketches II Collection: lines drawn on site now illuminated by waterCOLOR, a little more wild and free than the first collection of May 2020. Together, the Sketches reveal my personal evolution in architectural travel sketching and offer a piece of travel art that can remind you of your own memories in place.

Thanks for helping to GIVE BACK: I'll also donate 5% of the sale of this piece to the College of Architecture and Urban Studies at Virginia Tech for student assistance/scholarship for travel study abroad.
