Even its most formal of interventions, architecture involves an act of AUTHORING. This act—rooted in intent, ambition, and the immediacy of process—allows us to engage with design not just as a means to an end, but as a space of critical inquiry and imagination. At its core, architectural thinking is dialogic, interpretive, and reflective—an essential dimension of both academic exploration and professional practice.

 

FRAME 2025 will engage with DRAWING as an act of authorship that is both reflective and projective, situated in a state of becoming. Drawing has always been connected to questions of seeing and positions. In its variable role, it is not a static idea but a process, that associates, relays and accumulates out through the imaginaries of practice, representation, interpretation, archiving and documentation. Thusly a cognitive, cultural and conceptual mechanism, DRAWING is discussive both as a medium and meaning; embodying an ethos through line and gesture to explore, express, and construct spatial perception.
