Each drawing replies to a simple prompt: How can architectural drawing be dutiful? How can it be mischievous? This open-ended question invited diverse responses, spanning the spectrum from practical to whimsical.<\/p>\n<p>By presenting this dichotomy\u2014dutiful or mischievous\u2014the book\u2019s drawings expose the diverse and often conflicting values embedded in the practice of representing architecture. Some adhere strictly to functional rigor, while others embody open-ended explorations with no fixed outcome.<br \/>\nIn this way, <strong><em>Drawing Proper\/Drawing Improper<\/em><\/strong> expands the scope of architectural drawing, revealing the diverse motivations and approaches within the field. The collection is a testament to the diversity of thought and method that characterises architectural practice today.<\/p>\n<p>Accompanied by descriptions of the works and a series of reflective essays and interludes by Anca Matyiku and Marc Swackhamer, editor Kevin Hirth brings varied drawing practices into conversation, offering a dynamic cross-section of contemporary architecture.<\/p>\n<p>Contributors include: Current Interests, Perry Kulper, Frank Fantauzzi &amp; Charie O\u2019Green, CJ Lim, Lanza Atelier, NEME Studio, Norman Kelley, Office CA, William O\u2019Brien Jr., The Open Workshop, Outpost Office, T8 Projects, Nada Subotincic, SORT \/\/ Studio, Variable Projects, Mark West, Design Earth, Alam Profeta, Studio Ames, Studio Sean Canty, Now Here, Bair Balliet, JaJa Co, CJ Lim, Medium Office, HouMinn, EXTENTS, and Hume Coover Studio.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A meditation on contemporary architectural drawing practice framed through 56 artifacts created by 28 architectural firms from around the globe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":59016,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":""},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[5559],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-58304","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-architecture-landscape-design","7":"author-by-author-kevin-hirth","8":"publisher-oro-editions","10":"first","11":"instock","12":"shipping-taxable","13":"purchasable","14":"product-type-simple"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Drawing Proper\/Drawing Improper - ACC Art Books UK<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Title: Drawing Proper\/Drawing Improper, Pages: 88 Pages, Publish Date: 22nd Dec 2025, Author: Kevin Hirth, ISBN: 9781961856592.
