Summary:
Almost all of the seventeen texts in this anthology revolve around the same topic: drawing. There are subtle variations in the inception and focus of each essay, but they can be read as a unique, continuous monologue that keeps going back to that same core idea, almost compulsively. Flores & Prats believe in the capacity of drawing by hand to generate multiple and complex strata of knowledge about a space or a place, so they use it to guide the successive steps in their design process. Their obsession with drawing is a form of optimistic resistance, founded on the belief that the tools of architectural representation, if used with intensity, rigour and passion, can still help us decipher the world that surrounds us.
