Tradition and precedent inspire invention, architectural drawing, and media practice. This issue of AD presents a series of encounters with printed drawings, leading to their transformation and reimagination in a series of new works. Archival media from the John Nichols Printmakers & Publishers Collection, located at the A83 gallery in New York City, is the foundation for these new inventions by contemporary architects.
This issue of AD extends ongoing discussions of architectural representation and its evolution within print culture, offering critical reflections on selected drawn works. Originating from the project and A83 exhibition The Sixth Somewhat Annual Meeting, the issue explores ways archival materials can be newly activated, how intricate material objects invite non-normative readings, and how transformations across media reveal disciplinary debts and lines of influence. The contributors engage these concerns through close readings of specific works, expanding the conversation between drawing, archive, and publication.
