Drawn to Scale
“Architecture is not an abstract geometrical size, but something concrete that relates to our bodily experience and the world around us”, argues architect Håkon Matre Aasarød, founder of Vardehaugen. In order to replicate this bodily experience, the Norwegian studio are literally walking the line between drawn and built structures by constructing real scale drawings in their Oslo courtyard. The drawings, made of tape and chalk, are intended to convey the scale and space of their future projects in a way that traditional 3D visualisations and scaled models cannot; namely by allowing Aasarød and his team to stroll through their projects before a single mark is made on site. p (gk)
