As students and even later as architects, what we do is not creating architecture itself but creating its representation. The main medium to create representations of architecture is the drawing. Drawing as a universal medium does not belong solely to architecture but is used by an endless catalogue of other professions, which I never considered being fruitful for my productivity in the design process. This semester I discovered, that engaging with numerous types of drawings from different fields opens up many new ways and methods to not simply represent a preconceived idea but to use drawing as an active tool to kickstart the design in a speculative process. Sampling, recomposing and developing architecture through this process. I was able to add more complexity and meaning to my project, though interaction with the rich history of drawing and representation. Good architects copy, great architects steal they say. So I stole, copied, pasted, rearranged, stole again, to bring history back to life by embedding it into emerging debates of today’s society.
