An important part of the creative process for architects is sketching. The sketch, or plan, is the way architects express their ideas and develop their concepts, whether they begin as ink squiggles on napkins, colorful pastels on paper, or beautifully rendered graphite on vellum. Drawing Architecture showcased the work of mid-century and contemporary architects, landscape architects, artists, and designers who are represented in the collection of San Francisco Bay Area resident L. J. Cella. The exhibition included more than 50 drawings by artists such as Vito Acconci, Frank Gehry, Laurence Halprin, Steven Holl, Walter Jean Hood, Robert Irwin, Daniel Libeskind, Richard Neutra, and Marjetica Potrc.

This exhibition was organized with art collector L. J. Cella; landscape architect Walter Jean Hood; Associate Curator of Contemporary Art Claire Schneider; and University at Buffalo School of Architecture and Planning Professor and Dean Brian Carter
