Condemned Building”/ Architectural Drawings

January 22nd – March 31st, 2023 Gallery Open Sunday-Thursday 10am-5pm Shortly before he died in 1996, Doug Darden worked with the printmaking studio of Osama Nakasuji, Osaka, Japan, to create a unique set of ten prints made from drawings of five of the theoretical projects from his architectural treatise Condemned Building. Darden, in the spirit of the century French architect Jean-Jacques Lequeu, used this title to convey ideas that may not fit into the canon of acceptable work. The School of Architecture and Interior Design celebrates the importance of drawing in its many forms in an exhibit of Darden’s lithographs along with drawings from alumni of the school. While the conventions of architectural drawing are often for the legal production of building documents, architects have also used drawing as a form of speculation. The work shown includes travel sketches, conceptual drawings, drawings in the landscape, erotic forms of protest and work in video and AI as tools for investigation, fantasy, and projection.
