描述
This thoroughly-illustrated compendium of projects, writings and interviews focuses on how the field of drawing expands synchronously alongside technological and computational developments. Despite numerous developments in technological manufacture and computational design that provide new grounds for designers, the act of drawing still plays a central role as a vehicle for speculation. There is a rich and long history of drawing tied to innovations in technology as well as to revolutions in our philosophical understanding of the world. In reflection of a society now underpinned by computational networks and interfaces allowing hitherto unprecedented views of the world, the changing status of the drawing and its representation as a political act demands a platform for reflection and innovation. Drawing Futures critically reassess the act of drawing and where its future may lie. Bringing together practitioners from many creative fields, the book discusses how drawing is changing in relation to new technologies for the production and dissemination of ideas. Published to accompany the international conference of the same name held at The Bartlett School of Architecture, University College London (United Kingdom) in November 2016.
