2G Essays Flores & Prats Drawing without Erasing and Other Essays Taschenbuch

Almost all texts of this anthology revolves around this same topic: drawing. There are subtle variations in the inception and focus of each of the seventeen texts but as a whole the book can be read as a 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 on drawing though is a form of optimistic resistance believing that the tools of architectural representation if used with intensity rigour and passion can still help us decipher the world that surrounds us.
