Architects’ delineations traffic in a kind of purity and stasis. They do not portend change; they are often abstract, a frozen figuration absent any semblance of temporal narrative. And thus, they are an illusion. The idealized architectural drawing is, itself, an unreality. It thus lends itself well to the exploration of the psychic and figurative spaces of the genre of fairy tales: stories that traffic in magic, require a suspension of disbelief, and transfigure the prosaic into the grotesque. Fairy tales, both classic and modern, from cultures around the world, are the vessel for the visual investigations produced in this course. This class will explore how drawing techniques, aesthetics, and sequencing impact narrative. What is it about the process of constructing a drawing, of telling a tale through assembling a vocabulary of parts (and not just scenes) - using the language of architecture - that permits invention in representation and narrative power in visualization? How can we explore space, and the representation of space (both physical and emotional) to differentiate our images from those we find in storybooks?
