Peter Cook on Paper

With his visionary ideas and fantastical, imaginative, and colorful drawings, British architect Peter Cook has profoundly influenced and helped shape architecture and architectural thinking for almost six decades.00Since the 1960s, British avant-garde architect and professor Sir Peter Cook (b. 1936) have used drawing as the primary medium to express his alternative and often fantastical ideas and visions.00Cook has seen but a relatively small number of his buildings actually erected ? including the Kunsthaus Graz in Austria, inaugurated in 2003 and quickly nicknamed ?the friendly alien.? However, it is first and foremost the theoretical field of architecture that has been of interest to him: the question of what architecture can and must do and thus also the potential that lies in what Cook himself describes as the architect?s most important tool, namely drawing.00Exhibition: Louisiana, Humlebaek, Denmark (21.01. - 08.05.2022).
