Thoughts of an Architect
1 That architectural tracings are apparitions, outlines, figments.
They are not diagrams but ghosts.
2 Tracings are similar to X-rays, they penetrate internally.
3 Erasures imply former existences.
4 Drawings and tracings are like the hands of the blind
touching the surfaces of the face in order to understand
a sense of volume, depth and penetration.
5 The lead of an architect's pencil disappears (drawn away)
metamorphoses.
To take a site: present tracings, outlines, figments, apparitions,
X-rays of thoughts. Meditations on the sense of erasures.
To fabricate a construction of time.
To draw out by compacting in. To flood (liquid densification)
the place-site with missing letters and disappeared signatures.
To gelatinize forgetfulness.
