While we draw, Hands push the pressure to the pen in order to touch the papers. Touching is the bridging of architecture and the environment. For instance, using ultrasound technology scans the inside of human body that can reveal the organs beneath our skin. Digital technologies are allowing us to “touch” different space that are both inside and outside us and close to us and far away from us.
The detail of environment cannot be seen by our eyes but by touch of our hand through drawings.
I choose three different conditions of environments: cliff, swamp, and forest to experiment the concept.
First of three drawings used bird’s view to draw three sites, in addition, putting nine characteristics which I searched and shown on the blog into three sites in order to relate and communicate with environments.
Second, developing the object and at the same time and researching the technological side of the drawings, the instrument for exposing the unseen. For example, the artists used the camera Lucida to project the object on the paper to help them drawing. Taking the instrument into three environments and using different position to measure the sites. Furthermore, the device bases on three different sites to project the image on the papers in order to draw the journey plan. According to researching of the artists using camera Lucida, the device object is my drawing instrument and it constructed my drawing. Following the journey plan which is the process of drawing develop three maps, maps survey the instrument of the route which conceal and shift from the shadow. On the other hand, my drawing constructs the instrument
According to the maps, I begin to look through from the new scope to the real sites: cliff, swamp, and forest to observe. Then developing three models observe and explore the environments and leaving the trace on the papers. These three models become the observatories, furthermore, observing drawing of drawing.
It is the architecture before architecture.
