Summary:
Architectural drawings are charged with responsibility. They have a legal and contractual status, an educational function, command the act of construction and direct the work involved in constructing the building: drawings have a reason for being in the world that goes beyond their own limits. What happens when the drawing is freed from these responsibilities? What idea of architecture might emerge from drawings that can speak other languages? What might architecture become if it were free to experiment with other concerns? The series of drawings by fala presented in this book seem to ask exactly that question. They are drawings made after the fact. After construction, they are freed from the external responsibility of persuading or instructing; they have no duty to convince about anything that might exist beyond themselves. This is the opposite of the traditional linear process of sketch > drawing > construction. Here, the building acts as a preliminary sketch to the drawing.

Summary:
Designed by Zak Kyes "The work, in full-colour words, pictures, drawings, films and wonderings, has been carried out from 1958 until this morning. Alongside Greene's own texts there are essays by Samantha Hardingham, Sand Helsel, Sam Jacob and Robin Middleton. 'The brink of a conceptual abyss - not a bad place to be?' David Greene (founding member of the legendary 'Archigram', this is the first monograph on his solo work) and his collaborators invite you to view projects that chart a peripatetic drift from form to invisibility, in the process illuminating the possibilities for architecture in a culture dominated by information technology. Accepted definitions and applications of new technologies are doggedly raised and questioned."
