Architectural/technical drawings are created to illustrate a concept, sell a project, or provide the graphic information to construct a building, bridge, machine or decorative object. A study of the materials and methods used to create these drawings therefore provides insights into changes in architectural practice as well as drafting techniques. Drawings, ranging from quick conceptual sketches on tracing paper to annotated working blueprints, also illustrate different phases in the design and construction process. The interpretation and preservation of architectural drawings depends upon an understanding of their role in architectural practice and a knowledge of drafting materials and techniques and the ability to identify them. This workshop will provide an overview of changes in the fabrication and role of architectural drawings from the eighteenth to the mid twentieth century and then focus on issues of identification, storage and stabilization.
What you will learn:
- Supports and media used for original architectural/technical drawings
- Photo-reproductive processes used for architectural and engineering drawings
- Typical deterioration problems associated with each type of material
- Housing options and materials
- Strategies for setting priorities and choosing the most appropriate housing
