welcome to schizzi. the following pages contain a graphic journey depicting the relationship between an architecture student and a series of implements used to make marks on paper during his first experience in europe - in other words - sketches in a sketchbook - or more passionately referred to as ‘SCHIZZI.’ sketching in europe has been a pedagogical imperative amongst architecture students for centuries and has been a dream opportunity of mine for years. the experience of transcribing the details of a piece of architecture onto paper not only helps one learn about the building but creates an unspoken bond between student and architecture. this book is an homage to those buildings which so graciously allowed me to sketch them - whether or not i did them justice remains to be seen. however because they were sketched signifies an important desire for my hand to attempt to understand the smoothness of their curves, the hardness of their lines, the texture of their materials or just the grandiosity of their presence. this is a relationship that i don’t want to ever forget and hopefully this book will help foster that.

enjoy.
the sketcher at work. special thanks to everyone involved in helping me get here - this book
is my gift to you - as the opportunity to study in europe for
an entire semester is not only an unforgettable experience, it is, more importantly, an opportunity which i have strived to make the most of, always remembering that the experience of travel is a great privilege.

travel in europe is a whirlwind of different modes of transportation - one can experience many or sometimes even all in one day. from planes to boats to taxis, trains, trams, bikes, + buses, there is always the opportunity to hop on something to get somewhere quickly and efficiently. i often found myself on a subway - hopping from dot to dot - hoping not to miss my stop. the graphics in these subways are always so beautiful and well-organized, so i chose to mimic them in an effort to categorize and order chronologically my sketches from beginning to end.

the timeline below shows my travels from the beginning of the semester [early january] to the end [late april]. grouped cities on the timeline are part of a larger, multilocation trip - either a class trip or an individual one. each trip [and its subsequent cities] are classified below according to the color of the dot on the line. throughout the book, the current city or trip will be highlighted with a red dot on the timeline. the spine of the book represents the mid-way point of the semester, or spring break. when you see [change lines], this signifies moving to a different location.
