DESCRIPTION:ENAC Summer Workshop 2025\nDrawing Research Platform 2025\, L
 ondon\nLondres\, UK: 17 - 22 Août 2025\n\nDuring a one-week Summer Worksh
 op in the archives and on the site of Drawing Matter\, Somerset\, studen
 ts will explore drawing as a fundamental tool in both architecture and eng
 ineering. Through research into the Drawing Matter Collection and the cons
 truction of survey drawings and spatial fabrications\, drawing will be exp
 lored as a corporeal form of measuring and conceiving our environment. The
  Drawing Matter site\, London\, UK\, offers a unique setting as drawing ar
 chive as well as testing ground for construction.\n\nThe ENAC Summer Works
 hop Drawing Research Platform Somerset 2025 will link to the Unité d’E
 nseignement GC “Docta Manus_Drawing Structures”\, a research into the
  discipline of drawing for students in civil engineering and architecture.
  Drawing is introduced to the students not as a technique of representatio
 n but as a mediator between the construction and the individual. We unders
 tand drawing by hand as a cognitive tool\, as a physical act\, an experien
 ce\, a construction in its own right. Through the act of drawing in the la
 ndscape (with ropes\, with wood members)\, drawings can become mapping dev
 ices on a 1:1 scale. The students will understand the site and the scale\,
  a corporeal form of measuring that becomes a tool of design (disegno: dra
 wing or invention).\n\nWe will use drawing and observation as tools for th
 e analysis of our environment\, in direct contact with materials and with 
 “low-tech”\, hands-on construction methods. The slowness and tactile n
 ature of manual drawing and construction builds up tacit knowledge and fos
 ter an awareness and economy of means. Through systematic testing and obse
 rvation\, the tactile qualities of a construction and its relation to grav
 ity\, wind\, water\, sun\, etc. can be understood and expressed. \n\nWork
  will take place in Drawing Matter premises\, through drawing\,1:1 constru
 ction and collaborative discussions. It will be supported by lectures and 
 interactions with the Drawing Matter Collection. The unique accessibility 
 of drawings and sketches will allow for in-depth research through a compar
 ative analysis of drawings from different authors\, project stages and his
 torical periods within the discipline of drawing.\n \n\n© Herve Laurend
