Drawings by OFFICE

Drawings and collages by Kersten Geers and David Van Severen are presented and treated for the first time in a solo show at the GTA gallery of the ETH Zurich.

Drawings and collages play a central role in the work of architects Kersten Geers and David Van Severen. The ETH Technology Institute and the Institute of History and Theory of Architecture, together with the GTA gallery present a series of drawings by the Belgian architects.

In a unique digital visual language dominated by pastel colors, they produce an oeuvre that goes beyond the conventional uses of the architectural drawing for representation and planning purposes. The drawings and collages form an independent body of work presented and treated for the first time in a solo show at a major institution in this exhibition. Presented in contrast to the John Hejduk’s drawings, they show a contemporary approach to the medium of architectural drawing.
