This book presents a selection of drawings by the architect Steffensen taken from his extensive collection of sketchbooks. His characteristic drawings from unusual places and surroundings hold something dramatic, his continuous attempts to understand where the fascination lies, he uses the freedom to crop, simplify, dramatise and compose in order to capture what is essential - all of which drawing makes possible. The rough, edged concrete of a wartime bunker in contrast with the surrounding landscape, the basic brick wall or the rusted steel of the high blast furnaces. A presence both in form and material, however, the drawings also tell the story of what is not immediately visible. About the passing of time and of the former presence and activity of people. The aim of this book is to inspire the reader to draw - to convey the enthusiasm - the euphoria experienced in the work itself.
