Architectural Sketches
Studies of Form, Structure, and Spatial Poetry
The architectural drawings of Gerald Allen Knowles are rooted in decades of practice, teaching, and exploration.
These works capture the quiet geometry of staircases, cloisters, façades, and historic structures — each piece a dialogue between precision and emotion.
