Starting 1976 the sketchbook drawings of Stanley Tigerman will be on exhibition. After visiting the first Architecture Biennale in Venice, Tigerman began a series of travel sketches that continue to this day.

To see the the influence one area has over another area in the last 40 years is a fascinating exploration into the mind of Tigerman and his architectural output.
