Build nothing
“…When we mean to build.
We first survey the plot, then draw the model.
and when we see the figure of the house,
then we must rate the cost of the erection;.
which if we find outweighs ability,
what do we then but draw anew the model.
in fewer offices, or at last desist.
to build at all…”
—William Shakespeare, Henry IV, Act I, 3.

Subterranea by Rick Gooding. Courtesy of Woodbury University School of Architecture
In an era of digital representation, Gooding celebrates the precise and beautiful craft of manual drafting. He works without rulers or measuring devices and carefully constructs his drawings using the most basic architectural drafting tools: a straight edge, a 314 pencil, and an eraser and erasing shield. Gooding works exclusively in black and white. The simple palette occasionally produces Escher-esque qualities. Subversive flips of figure/ground and slips in optical logic confuse the readings of these rigorously constructed drawings.
