Under the guidance of architect Momoyo Kaijima of Bow-Wow Studio, students will compare historical pictorial records of public space and people - veduta prints of map images, and their current state and time.
The "Public Drawing Workshops" series, which will also take place in Prague after Zurich, Venice and Rome, explores the potential of architectural drawings not only to map urban spaces or public buildings and everyday life in and around them, but also to understand them as allegories or inventions of closed worlds that give drawings an operational dimension.
Students of FA CTU and ETH will work in groups. Each team will first study their location and then draw it together as a collective of authors in soft pencil. With this technique it is possible to erase and add more details and thus follow the discussion between the participants involved. Through this process, the drawing becomes a platform for communication. The resulting works will be publicly exhibited.
Those interested in the workshop can apply until 28 February 2022 by sending their motivation letter and portfolio by e-mail to Kristýna Sedlaříková (kristyna.sedlarikova@fa.cvut.cz). For capacity reasons, we kindly ask students of the 3rd and higher years of the A+U and KA programmes to apply.
The workshop is organized in cooperation with ETH Zurich and will be attended by architecture students from this prestigious university.
