Notes:

This 3-week design seminar will challenge students to create tactics of visual representation that are both intentional and relational; where “drawing out” is an intellectual position in constant relation to ideas in the world.

Students should arrive at the seminar with textual fragments in mind that they will be in conversation with for the 3-week term - this list could be introductory and evolving. They will then develop, explicate and illuminate a response to their readings through the medium of architectural drawing, where the terms and categories of this might offer competing opportunities for rhetorical manifestations: can an architectural section help us conceive of a historical moment in a new way? Or, could different axonometric projections offer contradictory understandings that challenge pre- and misconceptions? The seminar will constantly turn to, interrogate, disrupt and (hopefully!) reinvent techniques of architectural drawing in the service of drawing out arguments and ideas about things out in the world.
