As a student studying architecture in parsons, we are always taught to be hands on with our work, to develop a relationship to my site, that there are so many benefits to building and experimenting with materiality and how much an architects ability to execute his drawing to life also depends on materiality In the That architecture has moved from building to drawing rather than it being one field of study where the architect handles both of these aspects in his craft. Has this change in the field of architecture changed the relationship of an architect to his creations? Has there there been difference in the execution or the finishing of the materials?
Things like these are even evident in the architecture world now. In the reading it mentions that “all direct communication from the draftman through the drawing to the observer has been sabotaged”. And this is even more evident now as the role of an architect has become done through tech advancements and tools that erase the architect’s touch which then get sent to get built although the draftmans today do not have to deal with making process and therefore ideas get lost due to lack of communication.
How do different expressions of lines make a difference in how they are read?
An architect used to have to incorporate design, society, structure, craftsmanship and address the clients in his work, has architecture strictly become about representation?
