Description and Table of Contents
Description
This book explores, debates
and exhibits practices of contemporary architectural drawing, taking at its
basis a series of meetings between a cohort of architects, critics and curators
who discussed contemporary drawing practices and production in their own work
and research. The participants - Laura Allen, Bryan Cantley, Nat Chard, Peter Cook, Mark Dorrian, Riet Eeckhout, Adrian
Hawker, Perry Kulper, CJ Lim, Shaun Murray, Mark Smout, Neil Spiller, Natalija
Subotincic, Michael Webb, Mark West and Michael Young - focused on drawings or drawing-related artefacts,
around which dialogues took place. Beyond the usual representational
imperatives of architecture drawing, the group considered and discussed its
agency as a site of emergence and imagination. Organised in relation to
specific topics and framed by contextual essays by Nat Chard, Mark Dorrian,
Riet Eeckhout, Michael Young, Thomas-Bernard Kenniff and Carole Levesque, the
book includes a selection of exquisite and fascinating key drawings by the
various contributors, together with edited transcripts of discussions around
drawing which developed at the symposia. The drawings presented in the book are
in dialogue with one another, while their authors are themselves in extended
conversation. This double aspect will make the book a distinctive publication
and an enduringly important document and resource for thinking about architectural
drawing.
