“Outside the Category“

Resumo

t is a recurring theme in my research to establish collections of study models and tofind ways of decoding, transforming and representing them in drawings and as newmodels. The models are “outside the category”: pure form and architectural potential-“prior to an idea”. To become architectural ideas, they must be decoded in drawingsin order to be dissolved into architectural signs and rules.Keywords: representation; research by design; art-based research; models; drawings
