Developed surface drawings
This project explores the drawing technique Robin Evans described in the essay “The Developed Surface: An Enquiry into the Brief Life of an Eighteenth-Century Drawing Technique,” (Translations from Drawing to Building and Other Essays).


A developed surface drawing can literally be folded into the room it describes. The drawing technique brings orthogonal, rotational movement with it, so that should one draw an elevation or section of a room with the technique the whole thing would become a movement notation.


These drawings have been published in Hougaard, A., „The Animate Drawing,“ in Drawing Futures, ed. by Luke Caspar Pearson and Laura Allen, London: UCL Press, 2016.
