Now a Few Words from the Authors. INTRODUCTION LOSING PERSPECTIVE, FINDING DURATION. What happens when architectural drawing leaves the drawing board and moves to the computer screen? CHAPTER 1 FRAMING. What happens when movements are not in space and images not in our brains? CHAPTER 2 IMMOBILE CUTS. How can we develop an architectural drawing system fro the intervals in matter-flux? CHAPTER 3 SHOOTING. What happens when we relate movement, not to privileged poses, but to any-instant-whatever? CHAPTER 4 MOBILE SECTIONS. How can we generate architectural spaces through drawing any-instant-whatever? CHAPTER 5 ASSEMBLING. What happens when the sensori-motor schema breaks down and perceptions no longer result in action? CHAPTER 6 CYBERNETIC SEEDS. How can we generate space as seeds of different worlds in the making? POSTSCRIPT PROLOGUE TO WHAT IS POSSIBLE. Keywords. Bibliography. Index.
Synopsis
This book provides a simple but comprehensive framework for architectural drawing using the computer . Cinemetics is an exciting demonstration of a cinematically-inspired, cybernetically-based, architectural drawing system, which embeds architecture in relationships within the world at large. It is the first guidebook for architectural drawing with the computer based on an understanding of how digital drawing fundamentally differs from drawing with mechanical pencils on drafting boards. This book opens up new ways of seeing architecture as framing flowing matter, enabling a philosophy of newness. Operationally, computers, based on cybernetic circuits, are radically transforming not only architectural drawing procedures but also the human sensory-motor schema. Thinking in circuits is replacing perspectival picturing with its illusion of self-sufficiency, making past assumptions about buildings as self-contained objects obsolete. The authors - fifteen-year collaborators in teaching architectural students - link illustrations and text to research in media studies, biology, ecology and philosophy. Cinemetrics assumes that digital technologies are the everyday experience of todays media-saturated public. It takes you through a process of losing perspectival picture-making and generating space through cybernetic duration. Architectural drawing is reconceived as a multidimensional information system rather than static image-making. Aimed at students, teachers and professionals, this book provides a simple and accessible framework for learning how to position architecture within current life-supporting initiatives. This is not a software book, but applied theory based in sensori-motor experience. Technical advice in architectural drawing, 3D modelling, animation and digital editing is offered. Pointers are provided for the accumulation of skills in architectural drawings. Presented are drawings that move literally and figuratively. Cinemetrics is a book that challenges readers intellectually and physically, as it requires you to turn the page and reorientate the reading of the book around the illustrations. Here drawings speak more eloquently than words about the projective experience of architecture., This is the first textbook for architectural drawing with the computer that is based on understanding how digital drawing fundamentally differs from drawing with lead pencils on drafting boards., This is the first textbook for architectural drawing with the computer that is based on understanding how digital drawing fundamentally differs from drawing with lead pencils on drafting boards. Cinemetrics: Architectural Drawing Today demonstrates a cinematically-inspired, cybernetically imaged, architectural drawing system for thinking about architecture as embedded in relationships within the world at large. It opens up the possibility of inventing new ways of building as framing flowing matter in order to live a philosophy of ?newness'. The authors, who have for fifteen years collaborated in teaching architectural students, link the architectural drawing text with research in the expanded field of architecture, which includes neurology, biology, ecology, physics, sustainability and philosophy. The book is written in an accessible and direct tone. Providing both an understanding of the visual perception behind drawing and practical exercises, it is set to become the key text book on the subject at both undergraduate and graduate level. It is highly illustrated with black and white diagrams and drawings. Praise for Cinemetrics Sulan Kolatan, Max Fisher Visiting Professor at University of Michigan and Partner in KOL/MAC LLC, and William Mac Donald, Professor and Chair of Graduate Architecture and Urban Design at School of Architecture, Pratt Institute, and Partner in KOL/MAC LLC: 'By progressively positioning their architectural research on "digital drawing" as contemporary cultural practice, Brian Mc Grath and Jean Gardner demonstrate not only a unique lateral intelligence but ? to paraphrase George Lang's declaration that tradition is a conspiracy often used to keep the future from happening-? ensure that the future is happening.now. This daringly analytical book precisely and effectively delineates heretofore hidden systems of emergent relations between ideology, methodology, representation, and production.' Joan Ockman , Director of the Temple Hoyne Buell Center for the Study of American Architecture, Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation , Columbia University: ?With this engaging, mind-expanding, and original guide to contemporary modalities of visualizing and representing architecture, the authors usher the not-yet-initiated into the digital design age.' Mark Robbins, Dean and Professor, Syracuse University School of Architecture ? Cinemetrics extends the parameters of representation by drawing on aspects of media, film and video. This book is an addition to the lineage of expanding the pictorial field - the Nude Descending a Staircase meeting the battleship Potempkin. The digital drawing methodology produces an explosive shattering of architectural space and reflects the understanding of multiple vantage points and the simultaneity of events in the manner of postmodern literature and filmmakers such as Godard. These drawings have the power to communicate as seductively as the moving image how architecture, space, inhabitation, perception and experience unfold over time. The book offers new ways to analyze space and more importantly new ways of generating it.' Professor Neil Spiller, Professor of Architecture and Digital Theory, Vice Dean, Bartlett School of Architecture, University College London: ?In a world of change, fluctuating points of view, duration and virtuality, it is vital for designers to reassess the representation of their work in new and non-orthogonal ways, This book addresses this most fundamental of design questions and explains various representational protocols for the designer at the cusp of the twenty-first century. A must have book.' Susan S Szenasy, Editor in Chief, Metropolis Magazine ? A new generation of architects and designers has turned form the drafting table to computer drafting and design, seemingly seamlessly
