Sheila Constance Gibson, R.I.B.A., A.A.Dip (Hons), F.S.A. 1920–2002

Architect by training and profession, artist and illustrator by inclination, Sheila Gibson combined the two skills with extraordinary finesse in the service of archaeology and the recording and graphic reconstruction of fragmentary buildings. Hers were neither the architect's 'presentation drawing' nor the artist's 'impression' , but a uniquely personal formula which evolved in response to the needs of the archaeologists she worked with and the projects in which they enlisted her aid. In her hands modern archaeo-architectural reconstruction developed into a rigorous experimental procedure, a test of the processes of excavation and an integral element in the interpretation of structural remains
