EXPLORE THE ARCHITECTURAL ARCHIVE

Behind the finished artwork lies another remarkable story.

The Rees-Jowett Architectural Archive brings together the surviving drawings, working material, technical studies and documents that reveal the precision and thought behind John Rees-Jowett’s work.

Here, the focus moves beyond the finished picture to explore how he observed buildings, understood their structure and translated complex architecture onto paper.

From detailed architectural studies and working drawings to annotations, codes and associated archive material, these surviving pieces offer a closer look at Rees-Jowett not simply as an artist, but as a skilled architectural draughtsman.

This is the working world behind the Rees-Jowett Gallery.
