Design for the Facade of Societ\u00e9 Immobili\u00e8re de la Rue Modern, No. 6 (1909).<\/em><\/p>\n

Drawings by French architect and designer Hector Guimard (1867\u20131942), the man who gave Paris those plant-like entrances to the Metro stations<\/a>. The examples here can be seen in greater detail at the Google Art Project<\/a> where there’s a few more of his works including his typically organic smoking bench<\/a>. One thing I like about the architectural drawings is seeing the way he stylised his lettering. Frank Lloyd Wright used to do the same on his plans but I doubt there are any architects today who do the same.<\/p>\n
