Drawing Matter begins with the drawing itself. Our interest is in architectural drawings that fall under the rubric of architecture and prompt us to think again: about the practice of drawing, about the intentions and conventions created by drawings, about the real and imaginary architectures they produce; what drawings might be ‘for’ and what the designer’s hand might be showing, or doing, that the building cannot.
An excellent series of articles and first-hand reports on the drawing as a tool for dissection, investigation, creativity and research, revealing often forgotten links and paths and unsuspecting connections. What links Aldo Rossi with Jesse Reiser? Or Stan Allen with Rafael Moneo? How did Zaha embedded context relations in her drawings? Why were early Zaha and OMA sketches so similar that they could be mistakenly attributed?
This isn't a drawing revival nostalgic post, rather the opposite: an invitation to move beyond the drawing by understand contemporary medium and technium as the same kind of apparatus shaping our subject-knowledge and the object of our attention/creation with the same critical attitude and exploratory intent.

The technological advancements shown are indeed remarkable, but there's a worrisome trend of confusing computational design with optimization (Topological Optimization in this case), adding the "Artificial Intelligence" as the new black (even if there's no evidence of such thing being actually present) - this is not the first case of such term misappropriation from the non-specialized media.
But keep in mind: optimization is definitely a computation-based process, but computational design is absolutely not limited to it.
PS: side note - in the video, the spread of desktop 3D printers is described as "a fad that peaked in 2014"

Chris Williams is an Artistic Professor at the Department of Architecture and Civil Engineering, Chalmers University. Chris joined Ted Happold’s group at Arup in 1972 where he worked on Frei Otto’s Multihalle gridshells in Mannheim and was responsible for the structural analysis and physical model testing. In 1976 he came with Ted Happold to the Department of Architecture and Civil Engineering…
On February 2017 we had the huge honor to host Chris Williams for a workshop and a lecture in Bologna and were exposed for a little while to his incredible mind.

Designers have the commitment of envisioning and pushing for possible futures. Not "THE future", but possible futures. "THE future" does not exists, there are only possible ones.
