Talk/Workshop 1: POST - 1 October 2023

IMAGINING THE FUTURE PAST

With POST
TALK/WORKSHOP 1: Sunday, 1 October
2-4pm
Location: Studio, 26 Exmouth Market, EC1 4QE 

An architectural drawing is a future imagined and the construction that comes from that drawing is that very future as a concrete present.

The three-dimensional condition of architectural models is ideal for exploring together the form, scale and texture of architecture, which remain otherwise hidden or disjointed in the two-dimensional drawings.  A sculpture on a scale of 1:1 will be constructed in the space, around which images, film and architectural models relating to the construction of the sculpture will feature.

Participants are invited to record the experience of the immediate presence of the sculpture. They will do this by circulating & entering the installation and drawing fleeting viewpoints.

The drawing workshop will include architectural readings of the installation, concentrating on voids, volumes and diagrammatic aspects of the structure.
