Drawing Parallels expands your understanding of the workings of
architects by looking at their work from an alternative
perspective. The book focuses on parallel projections such as
axonometric, isometric, and oblique drawings. Ray Lucas argues that
by retracing the marks made by architects, we can begin to engage
more directly with their practice as it is only by redrawing the
work that hidden aspects are revealed. The practice of drawing
offers significantly different insights, not easily accessible
through discourse analysis, critical theory, or observation. Using
James Stirling, JJP Oud, Peter Eisenman, John Hejduk, and Cedric
Price as case studies, Lucas highlights each architect's creative
practices which he anaylses with reference to Bergson's concepts of
temporality and cretivity, discussing ther manner in which creative
problems are explored and solved. The book also draws on a range of
anthropological ideas including skilled practice and enchantment in
order to explore why axonometrics are important to architecture and
questions the degree to which the drawing convention influences the
forms produced by architects. With 60 black-and-white images to
illustrate design development, this book would be an essential read
for academics and students of architecture with a particular
interest in further understanding the inner workings of the
architectural creative process.
