Peter Cook: Floating Ideas

Image
Imaginative exhibition at the Royal Academy of drawings by architect Peter Cook which he had submitted to the Summer Exhibition over the years. This was a good use of the strange space on the way to the cafĂ© at the gallery. In particular l loved the drawing used as a mobile/chandelier on the staircase. As with many architectural exhibitions, I’d have liked a bit more of an idea of whether the concepts shown ever got built, whether they were plans which didn’t come to fruition or whether they are just imaginative drawings. It was only later when reading the leaflet that I realised one wall was built projects and the other unbuilt! Closes on 2 October 2016
