A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
This article is a case study of two sets of working drawings: one for Adler and Sullivan's Chicago Auditorium Building and the other for Sullivan's National Farmers' Bank in Owatonna, Minnesota. It attempts to elevate the working drawing to a more privileged position in contemporary discourse and to demonstrate how an alternative history of architecture and architectural practice might be written. This other story acknowledges collaboration and describes architectural form—that which is built—as the product of social and technological circumstances, not idealized aesthetic principles.
