Drawing Architecture Studio
Location: Beijing, China
Founded: 2013 -
Drawing Architecture Studio does what it says on the tin. Using comic book aesthetics, as well as Zaha Hadid-inspired axonometric projections, the studio create images to portray their projects in a riot of colour and divergent angles that are at once explanatory and imaginative.
Take their Yan Yu Art Space in Hangzhou, Eastern China for instance. The studio’s drawing communicates the multi-functional nature of the venue by cutting it away into separate entities – projecting the gallery, bar and storage facilities above the main structure to show finer details – while keeping the overall scheme of the building legible at ground level.Previous page: Li Han at work.

Founded by architect Li Han and designer Hu Yan in Beijing, Drawing Architecture Studio (DAS) is a creative platform integrating architecture, art, design, urban study, pop culture, and aiming to explore the new models for the creation of contemporary urban culture.

Designer Hu Yan explains: “The representation of the architectural design, depiction of the surrounding environment, and layout of the drawing itself are organically integrated into one unit.”
Similar is the studio’s drawing of the Dalishar neighbourhood in Beijing. All intricacies of human activity – from bickering couples to streetside foodstalls – are packed into the drawing, framed by the low-rise residential blocks and warehouses that protrude in all directions from the city floor. It’s disorienting yet engaging; a fitting reflection of the dynamics of urban space. I (gk)Detail from “A Little Bit of Beijing”
