Nine in 09

Some of Sydneyâ€™s most recognised and innovative Architectural firms exhibit at Sydneyâ€™s Boutwell Draper Gallery this month.

Sydney Art Gallery, Boutwell Draper Gallery, are currently exhibiting an extensive body of architectural projects from a number of Sydney’s best architecture and design firms.

James Draper and Susan Boutwell began their art gallery - concentrating on contemporary Australian artists – in 2000. At the time Draper spent most of his time running his Architectural model-making business.

This background in architecture inspired Draper and Boutwell to begin a yearly architecture-based exhibition each February. This introduction to the series will showcase a substantial portfolio of work from nine Sydney Architects.

The nine firms involved have supplied everything from original sketchbooks and drawings to models and multimedia displays:

CANDALEPAS ASSOCIATES
