Episode Description from the Publisher

The MXD crew talks with Gary Polk (BIG, Penn, Pratt) to break down the boundaries of Architectural representation and drawing.We start by diving into previous year's Archisource' Drawing of the Year Competition finalists—debating the line between a "drawing of architecture" vs. an "architectural drawing"—and discuss why standard diagrams might be ruining the discipline. Plus, Gary shares how he balances high-level corporate architecture at Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG) with his hyper-detailed, whimsical personal drawings born out of the COVID-19 lockdowns.If you're an architecture student surviving finals or a designer looking for creative inspiration, this conversation on lines, hatches, and non-human agency is for you!Make sure to follow us on our socials!Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/mxd_signalTiktok - https://www.tiktok.com/@mxd_signalYoutube - @MXDSignal
