American Architecture Drawings

American architecture in all of its diversity.

Jesse Spencer Smith depicts so many one of a kind buildings and mansions.

A lot of detailing went into the original design of the structure. I can see what fascinated Smith about them and what drove him to replicate them on paper.

Both pencil and ink are represented in the architectural drawings below. Inspired by residential and commercial buildings.
