POETICS FOR THE UNCERTAIN
POETICS FOR THE UNCERTAIN
- Systemic changes
While Architecture lacks the means to address and understand the urban, the act of drawing has become another issue of great concern, often understood as a tool, separated from the process of creating. Images appear within a generalized or not context of human cohabitation in which Architecture plays the key role. As a medium for “representation”, it reduced itself to a projection of what already exists, rather than understanding the alternative qualities and possibilities that could occur and the parallel relationship of engaging with the viewer. The act of drawing as a process can create a threshold between the “real” and the “imaginary” in which knowledge and problematics of a specific context, play an important role. As the future becomes more uncertain, the image can manifest as an important narrative within a specific framework. Abstracted from tradition, it can become an instrument for problematization, questioning the category of the urban.
