Reading Response

The Perez Gomez reading touched on some very interesting topics. The way in which space is represented by the architect and artist is ever-evolving alongside the development of new technology. He writes, “In architecture, as we hope to demonstrate, the focus is rather on defining the nature of a “depth” that the work must engage in order to resist the collapse of the world into cyberspace, a depth that concerns both the spatial or formal character of the work and its programmatic, temporal, or experiential  dimension.” This quote reminded me of how essential it is that an architectural perspective drawing intentionally illustrate a specific idea or set of ideas. If the drawings objective is unclear, the drawing is not successful.  Within a digital mode, this is often because it failed to, “resist the collapse of the world into cyberspace”. As computer software continues to become more popular as a design tool, this idea is very important to be cognizant of. 

Since I am a painter, and hopefully one day, an architect, I found the discussion of the difference between the drawings of the painter and those created by the architect very relevant.  The notion of accuracy versus perceived accuracy is, as I understand, the true difference between the two.  The painter is able to take more artistic license with the drawing because there is not an expectation for accuracy and the focus can be solely experiential. Whereas the architect has, in a sense, a different set of requirements.
