  1. Visions in Light visual documentation and engaged research

  2. Research and practice to help change how art schools think and act in relation to sustainability,climate change and environmental concerns. • Sustainability needs to feature in the curricula as an umbrella for new thinking within subject areas

  3. My abstract offers the idea of creating a synergy between drawing and photography to enable an understanding of architecture. • This brings together visual and critical thinking across disciplines and offers a new context for documentation and case studies to emerge and inform current thinking about future projects.

  4. Case studies • www.neasdencontrolcentre.com • Creating a synergy between drawing ,film and photography creating new concepts within design. • Brian Edwards and Su Fahy, Chapter 10 Drawing and Photography in Understanding Architecture through Drawing - second edition 2008.

  5. Case studies www.arupjournal.com The British Embassy in Rome:collaboration between Spence Nervi and Arup, Professor Brian Edwards, Arup Journal 3/2009 -Visual Documentation Su Fahy

  6. The British Embassy in Rome • Spence,Nervi and Arup

  7. Perspectives • Perspective was the term coined to describe visualisation of the environment of buildings by Basil Spence and is a format continued today by Zaha Hadid and other architects using drawing as a thinking tool within their design concepts

  8. Perspective Drawing • Basil Spence - British Embassy in Rome

  9. Photography and the Perspective • Photography also enables this direction by providing a drawing board for ideas - a kind of layering - really this could be described as ‘augmented reality’ as the layers of thinking and notation are added in a developmental time frame.

  10. Mapping • Creating deeper and broader learning by drawing together the culture of different practices to respond to the notion of sustainability. • Hence in learning about sustainable design from existing structures,whether vernacular or more recent examples -the sketches are the bridge into the imagination. • Chapter 18:Sustainability,Understanding Architecture through Drawing

  11. Mapping and Connectivity • Shelter and all its associations with solar gain and environmental comfort has inspired past practice to create sustainable solutions which are still resonant today. • Utopia or Oblivion - the work of Buckminster Fuller is perhaps the note to conclude on as he shaped experiments in art school practice and incorporated sustainable ideas into the curricula which we are still working with today.

  12. Collaborative Research • My thanks to eca where Professor Brian Edwards is Emeritus Professor of Architecture and the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen where he is presently Associate Professor of Sustainable Architecture. • School of Art and Design University of Wolverhampton CADRE Research Centre • Arup Journal and Archives.
