Summary:
This compendium of projects, writings and interviews focuses on how the field of drawing expands synchronously alongside technological and computational developments. Despite numerous developments in technological manufacture and computational design that provide new grounds for designers, the act of drawing still plays a central role as a vehicle for speculation. In reflection of a society now underpinned by computational networks and interfaces allowing hitherto unprecedented views of the world, the changing status of the drawing and its representation as a political act demands a platform for reflection and innovation. "Drawing futures" critically reassess the act of drawing and where its future may lie. Bringing together practitioners from many creative fields, the book discusses how drawing is changing in relation to new technologies for the production and dissemination of ideas. Drawings seduce, and the drawings in this book are tantalising evidence of this. Yet the aim of Drawing Futures is to illustrate how drawing works as an abundantly rich, diverse, inventive, critical and serious research domain. In this regard, it is a ground-breaking study of the point and promise of drawing; a first of its kind, which both explores the microscopic detail of the craft and envisions the radical possibilities inherent in its expression. The academics, artists and architects whose work lies within conceive of drawing as a rigorous, liberating form of expression. Their contributions work together as a manifesto for the future of an artform that is capable of both utter simplicity and infinite complexity.

Summary:
Bunpei Yorifuji propose dans ce petit livre une méthode d’apprentissage du dessin décalée et anticonformiste, pour apprendre facilement à regarder et représenter le monde qui nous entoure. Pour cet illustrateur japonais adepte du Rakugaki, dessin et imagination sont intimement liés. Cependant, la clef du succès se trouve avant tout dans notre capacité à être attentif aux formes et aux détails du monde qui nous entoure afin de reproduire, avec des dessins les plus petits et détaillés possibles, l’univers dans toute son immensité. Le trait minimaliste de l’auteur, et son sens de l’humour décapant, sont mis au service d’un véritable tour de force, où l’on apprend autant à tracer un trait qu’à mettre en scène son propre univers en miniature.

Florenski critique ici les fondements de la perspective et, avec eux, la conception classique de l’histoire de l’art, qui voit dans la Renaissance un acmé jamais égalé. Il analyse avec une grande finesse les icônes, qui génèrent une multitude de points de vue, au diapason avec la pensée qu’elles véhiculent.

Summary:
Florenski critique ici les fondements de la perspective et, avec eux, la conception classique de l’histoire de l’art, qui voit dans la Renaissance un acmé jamais égalé. Il analyse avec une grande finesse les icônes, qui génèrent une multitude de points de vue, au diapason avec la pensée qu’elles véhiculent. Daté de 1919, cet exposé est contemporain des recherches plastiques de Malevitch. L’on tient là non seulement un texte précurseur de maintes recherches théoriques mais aussi un plaidoyer éminemment pédagogique en faveur d’un art ouvert à la vision subjective du spectateur.

Summary:
Qu'est-ce qu'un croquis d'architecture ? Il est commun de penser que les architectes dessinent leurs projets à partir d'un croquis fondateur, qu'ils imaginent les bâtiments instantanément en griffonnant sur un bout de papier quelques lignes les déterminant définitivement.En réalité, il semble difficile de résumer un projet à une sorte d'instantané précurseur isolé de toute autre recherche. L'architecte n'est pas un magicien et ne détient pas l'image finale de l'objet architectural dès la genèse du projet. C'est le croquis, dessiné par sa main et son esprit, qui peu à peu, grâce à son hyper-récurrence dans le processus de conception, va forger les lignes de force du bâtiment, de son volume général jusqu'aux moindres détails. En rassemblant une foule de croquis pluriels et bavards, cet ouvrage partage l'expérience de l'Atelier Herbez Architectes pour laquelle la pratique du dessin est une valeur forte, envisagée à la fois comme la base du travail de conception et comme un champ d'expérimentation insufflant la créativité. Aller au-delà du croquis c'est en explorer les mécanismes et en chercher les limites. Croquis à main levée, croquis informatiques et croquis du regard se mêlent ici pour révéler les ressorts du médium graphique qui trouve aujourd'hui, à l'ère du numérique, de nouvelles formes d'expression.

Summary:
Why did early modern architects continue copying drawings long after the invention of print should have made such copying obsolete? Carolyn Yerkes answers that question in a fresh investigation into the status of architectural drawing in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Her book explores a vast network of manuscripts and drawings that each have information about ancient and modern buildings—including the Pantheon and Saint Peter’s—that is not known from any other sources. The drawings also show how the information was recorded, transferred, and analyzed by others. Yerkes examines the nature of architectural evidence to understand how Renaissance architects used images to explore structures, create biographies, and write history.

Prior to the 1970s, buildings were commonly understood to be the goal of architectural practice; architectural drawings were seen simply as a means to an end.

Summary:
Prior to the 1970s, buildings were commonly understood to be the goal of architectural practice; architectural drawings were seen simply as a means to an end. But, just as the boundaries of architecture itself were shifting at the end of the twentieth century, the perception of architectural drawings was also shifting; they began to be seen as autonomous objects outside the process of building. In Drawing on Architecture, Jordan Kauffman offers an account of how architectural drawings—promoted by a network of galleries and collectors, exhibitions and events—emerged as aesthetic objects and ultimately attained status as important cultural and historical artifacts, and how this was both emblematic of changes in architecture and a catalyst for these changes.

Summary:
For decades, Philip Ashforth Coppola has meticulously documented the New York City subway in a series of extraordinary drawings, detailing the terracotta mosaics, faience, and tile patterns that millions of riders pass by every day. Coppola's drawings are what "Hyperallergic" calls "the most encyclopedic history of the art and architecture of the New York City subway system." Along with Coppola's intricate ink drawings are anecdotes he assembled through painstaking research involving hundreds of hours poring through microfilms to discover the names behind the artisanship of what is rightly called New York's largest public art work---its legendary subway system. Philip Ashforth Coppola's drawings have been featured in the New York Times, "Hyperallergic", and on the BBC and are included in the New York Transit Museum's permanent collection. Foreword by Jonathan Lethem.

Summary:
''Making Marks'' showcases the private sketchbooks of the world's most visually inventive architects, revealing just how much drawing by hand informs great contemporary architecture. Taking a post-digital perspective, the sixty renowned architects whose work is collected here show how drawing and new forms of manual presentation have been refined since the reawakening of this basic technique. Notepads, stacks of paper, pencils and fine-point pens are as present in the architect's studio as phalanxes of screens. Revealing why and how hand-drawing still matters, this global survey presents the freehand drawings, vibrant watercolours and abstract impressions of rising talents and well-known names, including Jun Igarashi and Brian MacKay-Lyons.
