This book explores, debatesand exhibits practices of contemporary architectural drawing, taking at itsbasis a series of meetings between a cohort of architects, critics and curatorswho discussed contemporary drawing practices and production in their own workand research.

The participants - Laura Allen, Bryan Cantley, Nat Chard, Peter Cook, Mark Dorrian, Riet Eeckhout, AdrianHawker, Perry Kulper, CJ Lim, Shaun Murray, Mark Smout, Neil Spiller, NatalijaSubotincic, Michael Webb, Mark West and Michael Young - focused on drawings or drawing-related artefacts,around which dialogues took place.

Beyond the usual representationalimperatives of architecture drawing, the group considered and discussed itsagency as a site of emergence and imagination. Organised in relation tospecific topics and framed by contextual essays by Nat Chard, Mark Dorrian,Riet Eeckhout, Michael Young, Thomas-Bernard Kenniff and Carole Levesque, thebook includes a selection of exquisite and fascinating key drawings by thevarious contributors, together with edited transcripts of discussions arounddrawing which developed at the symposia.

The drawings presented in the book arein dialogue with one another, while their authors are themselves in extendedconversation. This double aspect will make the book a distinctive publicationand an enduringly important document and resource for thinking about architecturaldrawing.
