Hughes, Francesca ed. AA Agendas 12: Drawings that Count. Architectural Association. 2013 94593 No architectural category is more fickle or more artificial than ÔcontextÕ. A self-declared Ôrender-free zoneÕ, the unitÕs interrogations of architectureÕs seminal sites (antiquity, technology, the future and its proxies) examine the role of figuration and the exclusion of indeterminacy in the always already mediated question of context. Through the quiet business of counting, these line drawings Ð against the double ascendancy of parametricisation and the glossy rendered perspective Ð question architectureÕs ambivalent relations to the artifice it installs between itself and the outside world. 176 pp. Pap.
