Architecture through Drawing examines how drawing - as both action
and object - encapsulates complex ideas relating to culture,
technology, space and the built environment. Bringing together an
array of beautiful and rarely seen drawings dating from the
sixteenth century to the present day, all representing different
geographical locations, techniques, methodologies and purposes, the
book defines a new field for the subject of the drawing in
architecture. It reveals the motives for architectural drawing
beyond the requirement to document the processes that underpin the
realisation of the architectural object. This book asks,
fundamentally, whether drawings can illuminate new interpretations
of architectural experimentation. Examples range from initial
sketches by architects to analytical and construction drawings,
perspectives and schematics, collage and more complex presentations
and paintings often carried out in association with others.
Dialogues include Fabrizio Ballabio on Filippo Juvarra's Ottoboni
Theatre; Desley Luscombe on Ludwig Mies van der Rohe; Mark Dorrian
on Michael Webb; Nicholas Olsberg on Victorian architects William
Butterfield, Norman Shaw and GE Street; Charles Rice on James
Gowan; Laurent Stalder on perspective in postwar housing; Helen
Thomas on the covers of San Rocco; John Macarthur on clouds; Markus
Lahteenmaaki on Superstudio; and Erik Wegerhoff on the Viennese
Auto-Expander. The volume is rounded off with an epilogue, 'The
Limits of Drawing', by Adrian Forty and Sophie Read.
