NZIA Talks: Drawing the future, chaired by Micheal McCabe

In collaboration with Te Kāhui Whaihanga New Zealand Institute of Architects Auckland Branch, join us for the second of two talks exploring how drawing practices influence how architecture is designed and understood.

Inspired by our current exhibition, Rendered Futures: Drawing architecture, which examines a period of significant technological disruption to the tools of image-making, this panel discussion considers how drawing is evolving as the process becomes increasingly codified through computer-aided design – standardising representations of architecture and shaping the way it is taught and communicated.

In this session, chaired by Micheal McCabe, we ask: what might these changes mean for drawing’s influence on the discipline of architecture, and for its creative and critical potential in the futures to come?

Panellists include Pete Bossley, with more speakers to be confirmed soon.
