As you stroll through his large scale hand drawings and renderings, you inevitably make a comparison in between today\u2019s practice of architectural representation and how it used to be during Labrouste\u2019s lifetime. The salt ingenuity and perfection in the drawings are mesmerizing. You find yourself analyzing each pen stroke, tracing perfectly invisible construction lines, noticing the geometrical accuracy in his shading and smoothness in tonal changes. Even the color combination in between his light beige archival paper and pink tone that he preferred for poche makes a huge difference in your eye.<br>Coming back to the office your lightweight copier paper and black plotter ink will probably disappoint you more than ever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.moma.org\/explore\/inside_out\/2013\/05\/08\/henri-labroustes-precision-and-liberty-2\/\">https:\/\/www.moma.org\/explore\/inside_out\/2013\/05\/08\/henri-labroustes-precision-and-liberty-2\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We recently saw the exhibition \u201cHenri Labrouste\u2019s Precision and Liberty\u201d at MoMA.
