Notre-Dame du Haut, Ronchamp. May 2019. “In 1982 I rode up a huge hill to see this beautiful chapel. It was worth it!”

I also draw buildings.

Pen, marker and coloured pencil, drawn by hand. I draw mostly for inspiration, and because drawing a building is the best way I know to understand how it was designed.
