Architects Read: Robin Evans' The Developed Surface

​( VII ) ARCHITECTS READ: from Robin Evans' "The Developed Surface: An Enquiry into the Brief Life of an Eighteen-Century Drawing Technique.”

🗓️ 04.06 5—7pm

Join me for an evening reading from Evans’ 𝘛𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘋𝘳𝘢𝘸𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘉𝘶𝘪𝘭𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘖𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘌𝘴𝘴𝘢𝘺𝘴, tracing radical flatness and the centrifugal force of developed surface drawings — where depth collapses and detail is drawn into a single, continuous skin.

We’ll consider drawing, interiority and representation, prompted by the thought that “drawing does not necessarily dominate what it represents, but always interacts with it.
