Sergei Tchoban, a German architect of Russian origin, has created many drawings alongside his architectural practice, oscillating between personal artistic expression and urban, architectural fantasies. Fascinated by architectural drawings, he has also accumulated an impressive collection spanning several centuries. To give these a home, he founded the Tchoban Foundation in 2009 and a few years later the Museum for Architectural Drawings in Berlin. more In this book, the architect, artist, collector and museum founder talks for the first time in four conversations with architecture curator Kristin Feireiss about his fascination with these activities, how he sees the world, and the medium of drawing and architecture. These conversations are complemented by an essay by writer and broadcaster Deyan Sudjic, former director of the London Design Museum, and illustrated with photographs and drawings.
