Travel Sketch
1951-53
A monochrome mural sketch drawn by American architect Louis Khan during his illuminating trip to Egypt whilst teaching at Yale University. He saw the pyramids, not only as enormous masses, timeless and eternal, but also as vehicles of light and reflectors of the sun’s rays, seen by the heavily contrasting shadows. This renewed awe of historical design played a pivotal role in the development of Khan’s iconic monumental and monolithic architectural style. Formerly using light weight steel structures, he then went on to exclusively build with masonry and reinforced concrete.
The original work is held by Drawing Matter, an organisation that explores the role of drawing in architectural thought and practice. We have collaborated with them to bring highlights from their extraordinary collection to a wider audience. Explore Drawing Matter here.

Our frames are fitted with an FSC timber sub-frame, providing stability and longevity to the outer frame and glass.
Your frame is designed to be hung using the split batten method (hanging guide here). This enables your frame to sit flush against the wall. If you would prefer the more traditional option of D-rings and picture wire instead, please leave a note for us at the cart when you place the order.
