Drawing Spaces Lecture 03: Ontology of the line

Ontology: Types, properties and interrelationships 

Ontology of the line 'Drawing communicates much deeper level"

The line tells a story and notates real and imagined space. Drawing provides a personal level of sensitivity [Expressing thoughts and ideas]

Peter Cook: Archigram "AD Drawing" book 'The transformation of an idea is a process'

Bernard Tschumi: Strategies in drawing

How one constructs space. A relationship and interplay to create a dialogue between literature and architecture. Hybrid levels and forms of space. The abstraction of the grid as an organising device suggested a disjuntcion. Program vs Architecture Cause vs Effect. The artistic production of space.

Big: Yes is more publication [Architecture & POP culture]

Cartoon narratives. Break down the complexity of the work

ETH - Herzog & De Meuron: Proposal about how to communicate a city [Metrobasel comic book]

A mixture of fiction vs speculation vs reality

Considering the portfolio and the relationship to drawing within the folio. Where? What? How? being selective and showcasing the process of design.

Alexsandr Brodsky & Ilya Utkin: Paper Architecture

Speculative proposals. They use the components of architecture to communicate context. There is sensitivity behind the work.

James Wines: Home of high rise

Drawing through plan & section. The drawings carry an atmospheric quality. Complex orthographic drawings start to communicate the program.

Gottfried Bohm: 

Textured drawings that support light and levels of different spaces. They provide drama and atmosphere. The drawings are produced by drawing the materials and texture only. 

Lebbeus Woods:

Technological yet abstract work. "by drawing, the architecture is complete". Fractured, Deconstructed spaces. A space of light - the light pavilion -  An adoption to an existing building. The breaking up of an existing space.

Julie Mehretu: Between place - The landscape of protest

Petra Kempf: You are the city

Constructing narratives. Conducting your own rules. A loose fluidic document that allows one to construct a city.

Francois Roche: Spider House

Tactile, intangible, biological systems. Inwards spaces and exterior cladding systems influenced by spider web patterns [reference to moire' effect] explosive technical CAD drawings that start to define the complexity of the proposal.
