"The Drawing Research seminar/workshop brings researchers and practitioners in different drawing cultures together within the fields of architecture, art, and history, alongside related fields such as anthropology and archaeology."

 

 Session 1. 'Drawing as Translation'

 Tina Di Carlo's presentation starts with Jacques Derrida's 'Point de Folie' - Maintenant l'architecture' and looks into the drawings of Bernard Tschumi, Peter Eisenman, Jaha Hadid and Daniel Libeskind to investigate the different views on architectural drawing and translation. Some told Mutual link of architecture as a language and drawing as text and the others told the impossibility in translation. 

 Artist Joe Graham talks about time taken & time told in the rhythm of his repetitive drawing series. The rhythm exists between extension and duration of time in the process of repeated form of drawing. The phenomenological repetition is repetitive seeking of now in spatial form.

 

 Session 2: 'Drawing Tools'

 Alex Zambelli shows vintage drawing tools and chronotopic chart which is chronological image and key reference. Gregorio Astengo represents early scientific drawing machine called "Prosopographical Parallelogram". These drawing tools let us think architectural drawing discipline is not in the specific field and has been related to the diverse field mentioned above.

 

 Speakers open more possibility of drawing crossing over to architecture, art, archaeology. I would like to look into drawing as text to read, as order, as translation into time, as spatial form, as phenomenological interpretation which can be integrated in any area of fine art.
