Summary:
This publication traces the use of color in European architectural drawings and prints, revealing how this phenomenon reflected the professional anxieties of an emerging professional practice that was simultaneously art and science. Traversing national borders, the book addresses color as a key player in the long history of rivalry and exchange between European traditions in architectural representation and practice. Featuring a wealth of previously unpublished drawings, this book challenges the long-standing misreading of architectural drawings as illustrations rather than representations, pointing instead to their inherent qualities as independent objects whose beauty paved the way for the visual system architects use today.

Summary:
This exhibition catalog explores the remarkable theatrical designs of Italy’s influential Bibiena family in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. For nearly a century, members of three generations of the Bibiena family were the most highly sought theater designers in Europe. Their elaborate stage designs were used for operas, festivals, and courtly performances across Europe, from their native Italy to cities as far afield as Vienna, Prague, Stockholm, St. Petersburg, and Lisbon. Beyond these performances, the distinctive Bibiena style survives through their remarkable drawings. "Architecture, theater, and fantasy" commemorates a group of Bibiena drawings from the collection of Jules Fisher, the Tony Award–winning lighting designer, gifted to the Morgan Library and Museum in New York. Accompanying the first US exhibition of these works in more than thirty years, these drawings demonstrate the range of the Bibienas’ output, from energetic sketches to detailed watercolors. Representations of imagined palace interiors and lavish illusionistic architecture illuminate the visual splendor of the Baroque period.

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.

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.

When we are not ready or able to put our thoughts into words, we can sometimes put them down in arrangements of lines and marks. Artists, designers, architects, and others draw to generate, explore, and test perceptions and mental models. In this book, artist-educator Andrea Kantrowitz invites readers to use drawing to extend and reflect on their own thought processes. She interweaves illuminating hand-drawn images with text, integrating recent findings in cognitive psychology and neuroscience with accounts of her own artistic and teaching practices.
