Abstract:

How we look at architectural drawings is an inherently complicated topic. The issue arises from what we understand to appear and disappear on the page. The field of architecture has spent little time talking about what we see (and don’t see) on the surface of the drawing itself. This short-form essay addresses the ideas of transparency and opacity in architectural drawing by considering ideas from Leon Battista Alberti, the architectural theorist Robin Evans and the 1981 drawings of the architect Peter Wilson. It argues that rather than limit our perspective, a focus on the surface of architectural drawing enables new meanings to be made and remade through the eyes of their viewers.
