Drawing Architecture AD

Product Description

We are in the second decade of the 21st century &, as with most things, the distinction between digital & analogue has become tired & inappropriate. This is also true in the world of architectural drawing, which paradoxically is enjoying a renaissance supported by the graphic dexterity of the computer. This new fecundity has produced a contemporary glut of stunning architectural drawings & representations that could rival the most recent outpouring of architectural vision in the 1960s, 1970s & 1980s. Indeed, there is much to learn by comparing the then & the now. The contemporary drawing is often about its ability to describe the change, fluctuations & mutability of architecture in relation to the virtual/real 21st-century continuum of architectural space. Times have changed, & the status of the architectural drawing must change with them. This reassessment is well overdue, & this edition of AD will be the catalyst for such re-examination. * Features the work of: Pascal Bronner, Bryan Cantley, Peter Cook, Perry Kulper, CJ Lim, Tom Noonan, Dan Slavinsky, Neil Spiller, Peter Wilson, Nancy Wolf, Lebbeus Woods & Mas Yendo.* Contributors include: Nic Clear, Mark Garcia, Simon Herron & Mark Morris.
