This week鈥檚 #buildingdoodle sketch is by Martin Douglas, associate director of Bristol-based Pad Design (pad-design.com). It is the Basilica da Estrela in Lisbon.
Douglas says: 鈥淭he sketch was done some years ago while on a study trip to Lisbon with UWE as part of my masters in urban design.鈥� He adds: 鈥淏uilt in white limestone in a Rococo style, it is considered one of the finest churches in Portugal. Guide books tell the sad story of its construction in the 18th century. Founded by Queen Mary I of Portugal to mark the birth of her son Jos茅 in 1761, the basilica was completed in 1790 - two years after his death from smallpox.鈥� You can see more of Douglas鈥� sketch on his Instagram page (@douglasdoodles).
