개념적 구축으로서 건축 드로잉에 관한 연구

Abstract

This paper presents an inquiry of the changing roles and characteristics of architectural drawing during and after the second half of the 20th century. It was during the 1960s when architects started reconsidering architectural drawing in its meaning and value, and this provided the ground for the meaning of architecture itself. This research sees this changing landscape of architectural drawing as an outcome of continuous negotiation process between convention and invention in architecture. The study of general historical development of this convention and invention shows that architectural drawing as we know today does not need to be restricted within the convention. However, multiplicity of architectural representation and duality of architectural drawing serve to prevent theoretical discussion on architectural drawing from developing further beyond the general discussion in the 1980s. Based on these, I argue that architecture in drawn form could serve as a critique of reality beyond mere representation, as well as an invention itself. In these expanded roles, architectural drawings often tend to be made in retrospect to further articulate the essence of the project and to remain incomplete to focus more on speculative ideas than graphic perfection. These drawings also appear to hold a certain level of hybridity both conceptually and materially.
