“An Architect Drawing”

Theoharis David, ARC ’64

An Architect Drawing comprises 55 drawings in four series: Roma, Petra Jerash, Moscow St. Petersburg, and The World Trade Center.

The Roma series combines drawings from memories of Italy that relate to a specific place or event with descriptive text. The Petra Jerash series includes ephemeral drawings that portray the passage of time in two Jordanian cities, bringing with it the erosion of memory and erosion by natural forces. The Moscow St. Petersburg series represents Russia’s past and present, including architectural artifacts of an imperial era that have been re-gilded and are now experienced as contemporary. The World Trade Center series, drawn on a bleak afternoon in December 2001, records a moment of mourning and a void that was filled with the kinetic architecture of reconstruction.

An Architect Drawing_ is accompanied by a catalog with an essay by noted author Joel Agee.
