translations from drawing to building
robin evans
i believe this to be the greatest text on architecture written in the 20th century. evans (rip) digs into some very obscure territories, from 18th century furniture catalogues to the tracery of a dome by de l’orme. he admits these curiosities with gravity and submits them to very clever angles of inquiry to elucidate points about peter eiseman, mies van der rohe, and the greater practice of building itself. yet all of these objects and approaches are tied under the title to expose the space between the ennunciation and the act, the drawing and the building, both movements in themselves, both powerful, yet in the eyes of evans, surprisingly distant.
