ABSTRACT

In today’s practice of architecture, the problem of ‘drawing’ is the problem of ‘building’, both are perceived as final ends. Mistaking the temporal nature of architectural work as being ‘eternally unchangeable’, they have become fixed ‘models’ of their own image, projecting onto each other an unchanging vision of reality. Prior to this contemporary understanding, the building was a perpetually unfinished entity, capable of being worked and reworked including through the media of drawing.
