Crowd Sourced Barcelona Pavillion
The shift in image culture with the digital turn and the democratization of digital tools have resulted in a saturation of different variations of the same content with a single Google search.
Looking at Wittkower’s reductive Palladian plans, Evan’s ‘Translation from Drawing to Building’, and Ranciere’s ‘Future of the Image’, this project examines precision & accuracy (or lack there of) of architectural drawings found Online.
It is rather difficult to find a accurate drawing of Mies’ Barcelona Pavillion, a canonical building which has been traced a redrawn indefinitely. By flattening as many found plans as possible without revisions, discrepancies between drawings such as incorrect columns, dimensions, furniture sizes, scales, and wall placements are revealed.
