Sergei Tchoban Book : architecture drawings / edited by Luca Molinari ; introductions by Santiago Calatrava, Massimiliano Fuksas.

This monograph presents the architecture drawings of Sergei Tchoban, including architectural fantasies as well as images of existing architecture from his travels all around Europe. With a revealing interview on the importance of drawing for architecture and today's city, this book presents a selection of 130 drawings, chosen from the wealth of material accumulated in over ten years of work and research. The volume is introduced by a text by Santiago Calatrava, 'The Inner Sight', and one by Massimiliano Fuksas, "When once we see keenly enough, there is very little difficulty in drawing what we see."
