beautiful sketches.....and observations about drawing.

Drawing, and the seeing it requires, does take effort, especially for beginners struggling to resolve the difference between what we know about something and how it might appear to the eye.

READY TO TAKE A BREAK FROM DRAWING LINES?

Allan Wexler: Absurd Thinking - Between Art and Design, published by Lars Müller, a Swiss publishing house with beautiful editions or art and architecture books.....https://www.lars-mueller-publishers.com

from archidose:  http://archidose.blogspot.com

Covering 45 years of Allan's career – from his days as an architecture student at RISD and Pratt to the present – Absurd Thinking presents many, many projects in four thematic chapters: abstraction, landscape, private space, and public places. I would have assumed that works of interest to architects would be found in the last two chapters, but given Wexler's approach to each commission there is something architecturally appealing throughout. Take the tree branch pictured on the book's cover. Titled Reframing Nature, it started as a curved tree branch that he photographed, cut up, and then reconfigured into a straight branch; he then sawed and straightened the real thing with wood wedges. These wedges, or shims, are an integral part of any building project, and Wexler uses them in many of his pieces, all in surprising ways. The result may not look like architecture, but the thinking behind it and the means of its straightening get pretty close to the core of architecture: the fashioning of nature's raw materials into something organized for human use and pleasure.

“Axonometry symbolizes accuracy and clarity in representation as well as simply depicting SHAPES and RELATIONSHIPS in graphic space. But even without the symbolic connotations, axonometric constructs provide designers with a convenient tool with which to model three-dimensional complexity. The facsimile of three-dimensionality combined with the ease of construction and scaling make it a compelling graphic device with which to study developing designs from many viewpoints and with virtually any degree of dissection…”
