You'll see a bit of everything in these drawings: parts of Greek temples, soccer fields, something that might remind you of Mies van der Rohe, church bits, and even everyday places like corridors.

What makes these pieces stand out is their fragmented style, which forms a dynamic, ever-changing architectural landscape. It’s like a visual stream of consciousness, full of half-remembered bits and pieces.

Sam kicked off this project for a piece in San Rocco Magazine titled ‘The Even Covering of the Field’. His work delves into the idea of space as a vast expanse of fragments that stretch out endlessly.

This series falls in line with grand artistic visions like Piranesi’s Campo Marzio and Archizoom’s No-Stop City, where the focus is on conveying big architectural ideas through art, not just replicating real-life places.

In essence, the "Empire of Ice Cream" is about drafting plans that’ll never be built. It’s a wild, unending creation of maps to places that are both familiar and completely fantastical, all sketched out in vibrant felt tip on graph paper.
