The Routledge Companion to Architectural Drawings and Models From Translating to Archiving Collecting and Displaying
Architectural drawings and models are instruments of imagination communication and historical continuity. The role of drawings and models and their ownership placement and authorship in a ubiquitous digital age deserve careful consideration. Expanding on the well-established discussion of the translation from drawings to buildings this book fills a lacuna in current scholarship questioning the significance of the lives of drawings and models after construction. Including emerging well-known and world-renowned scholars in the fields of architectural history and theory and curatorial practices the thirty-five contributions define recent research in four key areas: drawing sites/sites of knowledge construction: drawing office construction site; the afterlife of drawings and models: archiving collecting displaying and exhibiting; tools of making: architectural representations and their apparatus over time; and the ethical responsibilities of collecting and archiving: authorship ownership copyrights and rights to copy. The research covers a wide range of geographies and delves into the practices of such architects as Sir John Soane Superstudio Eugène-Emmanuel Viollet-le-Duc Frank Lloyd Wright Wajiro Kon Germán Samper Gnecco A+PS Mies van der Rohe and Renzo Piano. | The Routledge Companion to Architectural Drawings and Models From Translating to Archiving Collecting and Displaying
