Beskrivning
Drawing Imagining Building focuses on the history of hand-drawing practices to capture some of the most crucial and overlooked parts of the process. Using 80 black and white images to illustrate the examples, it examines architectural drawing practices to elucidate the ways drawing advances the architect’s imagination.Emmons considers drawing practices in the Renaissance and up to the first half of the twentieth century. Combining systematic analysis across time with historical explication presents the development of hand-drawing, while also grounding early modern practices in their historical milieu. Each of the illustrated chapters considers formative aspects of architectural drawing practice, such as upright elevations, flowing lines and occult lines, and drawing scales to identify their roots in an embodied approach to show how hand-drawing contributes to the architect’s productive imagination. By documenting some of the ways of thinking through practices of architectural handdrawing, it describes how practices can enrich the ethical imagination of the architect. This book would be beneficial for academics, practitioners, and students of architecture, particularly those who are interested in the history and significance of hand-drawing and technical drawing.

Recensioner i media

"This remarkable book closely examines hand drawing practices in architecture as crucially important, embodied sites of meaningful, ethical creativity. Considering their formative aspects from the Renaissance up to the mid-20th. century, probing orthogonal drawings, qualitative lines, the agency of tools and scaling, and relationships to building, the author reveals connections between the architectural imagination and embodied hand skills that remain fruitful well into modernity, suggesting ways to overcome the reductive assumptions dominant in contemporary architectural design and representation." - Alberto Perez-Gomez, Professor, School of Architecture, McGill University, Canada
