PUBLISHER'S DESCRIPTION:
Drawing Matter Extracts is a series of informal anthologies that address particular themes or problems in the process of design. Each combines drawings from the Drawing Matter Collection and elsewhere with newly commissioned texts, and others previously published on www.drawingmatter.org or found in the architectural library at Shatwell Farm.
The first anthology in the series, ?Where to Begin"?, presents a survey of architects? starting points, and is published in three parts, spanning over five-hundred years of architectural practice. dDAB COMMENTARY:
"Where to begin"," that is the question. It's not an easy question, I'll admit, be it in terms of tackling an architectural design, as I did back in the day, or with the written word, which occupies most of my time now. I'd probably align myself, in all modesty, with the answer provided by Juhani Pallasmaa in the second of the three Drawing Matter Extracts 1 made and released during the pandemic. The Finnish architect/critic sees the "definite location and context" as something that makes design tasks more concrete than beginning to write, which is "more open and indefinite" and therefore "never self-evident."&nbs...
