Parisian Rooftops Create Private Spaces
In this Sunday sketch, Abigail Gillin draws Parisian housing adorned with balconies
This sketch by Abigail Gillin, titled Parisian Rooftops, shows a view from the 6th floor of Paris’ 2nd Arrondissement. These balconies softly open private spaces to the public street 60 feet below.
Abigail’s sketches capture people’s favorite places, most of which are inherently urban and vibrant: lively street corners with chairs and people spilling onto the sidewalk, Parisian rooftops showcasing the city’s ability to tuck housing into every corner, and sports venues that unite people, even if just for a couple of hours at a time.
