to be in love is to swim in doubt. But this means something.
Seth doesn’t disagree “Yes, but not what you think.”
“Meaning will not cooperate with us.” They stare at their matchas in silence. The aperture widens, as if meaning is to be revealed just outside of frame

Drawing and the city
this drawing task is about understanding, knowing and registering the experience of living in cities
Understanding;
Commenting;
your drawings could symbolise the issues or features of living in the city - ie the overflowing bins from the bin strikes
Imagining;
Instead of just drawing a bin, reimagine the space like it’s a bin having tentacles out of it
Reportage;

keep it simple

try different mediums
Suhita Shirodkar
Uses drawing/watercolours to document her city
focused on vintage shop signs
Began as a simple quest to find connection to her new home
ran into more questions than answers
why does history matter?
what do we lose when we lose the small stories?
How do we balance preservation and development?
Personal = political
Drawing is a language, one in which you can ask questions, draw and discover
Beer street and gin lane - William Hogarth 1751
Mapping the city
Many illustrators and other creatives have, over time, used their skills to produce maps of the city
Sometimes highly personal and sometimes revealing on a grander scale
mapping is an embodied experience carried out from a particular point of view
All maps are subjective
Oliver Jeffers
Commissioned by united airlines to create “one city five hours”
“how can you experience each city in just one hour”
Drew charming little maps about the main things you’d go to look at
Washington, Melbourne, paris
Paula Scher - famous graphic designer
Mapped things using data
Postcodes in Manhattan
The city is not a unified whole but a unity of fragmented perceptions - Ebru Yilmaz
The truth of what the city is, is made of all of our experiences

Would draw it and redraw it
A fully automated anti-capitalist city
Archigram
Imaginary cities designed by architects using their skills

Dalla presentazione dell’editore:
