Description

Book Synopsis

Relevant reading for practitioners and students alike, Closer to Things frames drawing as a powerful tool of critical spatial inquiry

Moving beyond drawing's conventional role as a prescriptive design tool, Closer to Things addresses how drawing can be deployed as an analytical instrument to investigate, or get "closer to," urgent matters of concern in the existing built environment. Through this lens, drawing becomes a potent tool to reveal and communicate complex and often obscured spatial conditions of social inequality, economic asymmetries, environmental degradation or climatic crisis. The publication includes a series of new conversations on drawing's research agency with Eyal Weizman, Feifei Zhou, Laura Kurgan, Huda Tayob and Denise Scott-Brown, among others.
