03 - Thinking Outside the Bullring: Re-imagining Spain’s Socio-cultural Arenas on a Challenging Modern Stage

Extra-curricular Observational Drawings

March - September 2022

I started this travel sketchbook on an academic trip to Venice. Whether it be sat in a cafe by the canal, or hiding from the rain on the steps of the Doges Palace, I used these sketches to record my favourite architecture. I continued to draw in the journal on travels to various European cities and Cairo. Following a travelling award from the University of Cambridge to carry out research about the influence of the Moors on Spanish architecture, I was able to visit several Spanish Cities, where observational drawings were key to conducting my research. Here I have displayed a selection of my drawings from the book.
