In 1960, before Michael Graves's skyscrapers and teapots made him a household name, he set out on a journey once considered obligatory for a young architect: a grand tour of Italy, Greece, Turkey, Spain, England, Germany, and France, studying the masterworks of ancient and modern architecture. Collecting the stunning pencil sketches, ink washes, and photographs from this trip, the highlights of this handsome slipcased edition include views of the Roman Forum, the Grecian Acropolis, and Stonehenge. In his foreword, Graves reflects on these travels from the distance of 40 years, while his protégé Brian Ambroziak puts the tour into the context of Graves's career.
