EXPERIMENTAL SPATIAL DRAWING TECHNIQUES AS A FRAMEWORK FOR CRITICAL DISCOURSE
The pedagogy formulates a week-long educational framework in a form of an intensive knowledge-exchange workshop. It departs from the theoretical grounding that helps contextualise the students work that resorts to several other disciplines (visual arts, film, philosophy, etc). The pedagogy encompasses embodied learning experiences, with hands-on experiments, interactive lecture/tutorial sessions that navigate the course of actions.
The pedagogy is situated at an intersection in between art and architecture, but also in between the assumptions and critical thinking, between traditions and innovation. It builds on the existing curriculum by challenging a concept of a drawing as a 2D media limited to a sheet of paper and introduces students to the drawing in the expanded filed. A protocol purposefully developed by the author outlines spatial drawing techniques and teaching/design strategies employed. Some of the strategies, such translation of drawing properties into material properties, make way for critical consideration of the prevailing notions and habitual ways rooted in the discipline.
