Kickstarter Find: Architecture Notebooks

IMG 7759

We recently backed the Architecture Notebooks Quickstarter from GoArchitect.co. These notebooks are inspired by great architects and were available in a variety of designs. There were 6 to choose from.

Choice 1: “An Idea is Salvation by Imagination” – Frank Lloyd Wright

From one of the most famous architects of all time this quote demonstrates Wright’s belief in the eternal value of an idea. This ethos proved instrumental to his role as a revolutionary in American architecture at the turn of the 20th century. His radical ideas shaped what many generations consider a home and a workplace.

Choice 2: “Even a Brick Wants to be Something” -Louis Kahn

Louis Kahn’s approach to architecture emphasized the honest treatment of materials with their inherent qualities and beauty. Why try to force a brick to be something other than a brick? He argued that is has an honorable status and should be respected. 

Kahn’s career is evidence to his philosophy around and mastery of honourable humble brick. You only have to look at the National Assembly Building in Dhaka to see this. This notebook from GoArchitect honours his legacy by encouraging designers of today to respect the materials they use.

These are sturdy hardbacked notebooks and will be great for writing on the go and at my desk. I’ve recently become more of a fan of dot grid notebooks due to the flexibility that they give you so I was pleased to add a couple of a5 hardbacked dot grid notebooks to my collection as most hardbacked notebooks in this style are plain or lined rather than dot grid. However, I was slightly disappointed with the off-white paper particlarly in the idea “an idea is salvation by imagination” notebook given the brillance of the white cover.
