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.

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:
Drawing is a way of constructing ideas and observations as much as it is a means of expressing them. 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.

Summary:
The resurgence of drawing is not merely a retrograde trend, but an affirmation of the continued importance of sketching as part of the design process. Architects' Sketchbooks presents pages from the private sketchbooks of a wide international spectrum of architects, who use drawing to express their spatial ideas while revealing their unique thought processes. Sketches from some 85 architects and studios are featured, including Will Alsop, Architects Atelier Ryo Abe, Shigeru Ban, Elemental, Thom Faulders, Norman Foster, Carlos Jiménez, Alessandro Mendini and Office dA. Their works range from simple line drawings and clear perspectives to more abstract, artistic compositions, from quick freehand to measured mapping, from spontaneous squiggles on scrap paper to careful drawings on art paper. Accompanying texts by editor Will Jones include comments by the architects and profile how they use sketches to help evolve their initial inspirations and concepts into more developed ideas, revealing the artistry behind the built world.

Organized around eleven exercises, the book does not emphasize speed, nor incorporate many timesaving tricks typical of drawing books, but rather proposes a slow, meditative process for construing drawings and for drawing constructing thoughts.

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.
