Dear Art Educators,

I am sure many of you have used David Macaulay's books with your
architecture units.

This exhibit is featured in New York Times - nice slide show.

From the National Building Museum site:
"David Macaulay: The Art of Drawing Architecture focuses on the
artist's use of drawing to research historic buildings, to render
architecture from engaging perspectives, to reveal underlying
structures, and to critique and redesign, in a playful manner, the
contemporary landscape of American architecture."
