Frits Palmboom

By Stefano Colombo, Anna Andreotti, Mario Fosso

Drawing by hand - states Dutch architect Frits Palmboom, one the most famous and well established urbanist across Europe - involves a number of essential skills within the domain of urban design, thus serving as an instrument to relate yourself to the dimensions of large sites and major assignments, to exercise and understand complexity, to get a grip on the operations of time and to learn how to deal with uncertainty.The sketches, published here for the first time, introduce to some very important and different issues: drawing landscapes to understand the deeply rooted relations between nature and artifact, reading the city and the landscape as a cooperating couple aiming at knowledge and creative actions.
