ABSTRACT
Matta-Clark's strategy of drawing in the existing space and his perception of the wall as the art itself are analogous to the potential relationship between the page and the drawing within artists' books. The advantage of reading the artist's book as an architectural facture which operates diagrammatically is to place the book in a particular relation to architectural discourse. The advantage of reading the artist's book as an architectural facture which operates diagrammatically is to place the book in a particular relation to architectural discourse. The method of drawing, and how the reader encounters these drawings, is important for another reason. They provide a haptic connection between the maker and the reader: drawings are not just images, they are things to be touched and the hand is the primary agent in this. The drawn line within architectural documentation usually involves iterations.
