We are interested in creating a tacit knowledge that is not transmitted but produced. Through drawing, we will analyse and question spatial, tectonic, urban and material articulation as well as the notion of place. Analysis will take apart and make transparent a seemingly oblique reality, transforming it into a condition of possibility. We will explore drawing by hand, (with fixpencil on paper), with string and with our body in space. Our site will be the one in front of us: the Campus Mutsaard as built but also historically transformed reality. Drawing by hand will be explored not as a medium of representation but as a mediator between construction and the individual. The act of drawing as a physical and spatial experience allows us to observe, measure and construct: to see. The drawings are plastic: built up through continuous iterations, they accumulate numerous strata and temporalities. Each student will draw individually and collaboratively, creating an intimate space of reflection and doubt while working in interdisciplinary groups building up a shared research. The measuring methods and devices may acquire a physical reality (e.g. strings pulled across a terrain or facade) and manifest itself as a new temporary layer in the urban context. The essential aspects of drawing cannot be taught theoretically, they can only be learned through practice. The use of drawing as action initiates a transformative bodily experience generating intensities, frictions and new knowledge that only theonewhomakes can access. The aim is not to build neutral drawings but a space with thresholds and fissures where the necessary doubts of the creative act can exist, where we question our environment and the future of construction.
