In June 2011, I went on a study abroad program based in Berlin. During the course of one month, we studied advanced building technologies in Berlin, Potsdam, Koln, Bonn, Dresden, Dessau, Munich, Copenhagen, and Malmo. The following images come from my sketchbook as well as a few of the final drawings we had to complete for our Drawing from Travel accompanying course.

The following are some of my final drawings for the course. In keeping with some of my earlier sketches, I focused on reflections in the drawing set. Some are reflections in water, some in glass. Reflections give more information, tell a larger story, and speak to the relationship of a building and its surroundings, either natural or architectural.
