, Notes: Patrick Arthur Faulkner was an eminent architectural historian and outstanding architectural draughtsman. He pioneered “structural archaeology” in the 1960s, a discipline whereby the informed, visual examination of a structure can enable its history to be deduced. Faulkner authored books, journal articles and reports in this field. His interest in and commitment to the conservation of historic buildings finds evidence in this fascinating collection of architectural drawings dating from around the 1940s. Some of these views are signed and dated, and sometimes even coloured, showing an aesthetic intention for these studies beyond the purely technical.
