Today, the new architect I have discovered is Peter Salter. Salter is a British architect and currently teaches as a Professor at the Welsh School of Art, Cardiff University. His early career saw him work for Alison & Peter Smithson (Known for 'brutalist' designs) who were the founding members to Team X. In 2004 he won the RIBA Annie Spink award. Most famously, he is known for the production of drawings for a series of projects which remain unbuilt.
Salters drawings are highly developed and evocative, which are concerned with qualities of construction and spatial atmosphere.
I want to inject some of his poetic qualities into my own work, to lift a flat, lifeless section or detail.
