Process is an exhibition examining “The role of sketches and models in the development of architectural concepts” starting next Wednesday (18.01.06) at the Utopia Gallery in Waterloo. On display will be drawings and models by Durbach Block, Alex Popov and Peter Stuchbury.

I can hear what you are thinking - gosh, that is a very high proportion of silvery coiffure for one billing. And yes, you are right, however do not let this distract you from the drawings on display. In a similar fashion to last years Shaping Space the exhibition will focus on the process of design rather than the end product with each architect opening up their sketchbooks for review.

Both Stuchbury and Popov produce an architecture that may not get my rocks off, but is certainly sturdy and elegant. Durbach Block (sketchbook above) on the other hand, are hitting their stride and producing some superb work and the many sketches by Neil Durbach and the models of Lisa La Van are an integral part of the practice. So if you are in Sydney, it should be worth checking out.

The exhibition is on from the 17.01 to 04.02 at
Utopia Gallery, 2 Daks Street, Waterloo, Sydney
