Drawing, as a practice, observes, describes, and composes a relationship between the thinking selves in relation to an environment. Drawing, as an object, constructs with phenomenal and dialogical dimension. 

The following series, a composition of four diptychs,  examines the manual, digital, and computational production of images and drawings. With each pair, different architectural drawing types were examined: section, plan, paraline, map. Questioning and developing the mechanics of the type, the discourse of what architectural representation was continued through exploration.
