Summary:
What role does drawing play in architectural education? How is drawing used as an instrument for communication, investigation, and representation in architecture and the construction industry? This book assembles contributions to the 2021 edition of the Lucerne Talks, the bi-annual Symposium on Pedagogy in Architecture at the Lucerne School of Engineering and Architecture. ''Drawing in architecture education and research'' offers a closer look at the importance of drawing culture in the curricula of Swiss schools of architecture and in the practice of architecture firms. Conceived as a compendium and reference book for students, teachers, and practitioners alike, this book explores the potential of drawing as a universal tool for communication and understanding among different societies, language groups, and professional communities. It considers drawing in its dual function as an object and a method for theory and practice in architecture and features strategies for a future transdisciplinary language of drawing that enables narrations and representations of new spatial concepts.

Summary:
Architecture schools are currently being built all over the world. The main reasons for this are new space requirements and the pursuit of excellence in education. Despite the claim of many institutions to teach concepts for new, innovative architecture, schools are often bound by tight constraints and prescribed space programmes when building their own facilities. Under these conditions, how can free spaces for architectural education be created and forward-looking ideas as well as unconventional uses be promoted? / Weltweit werden derzeit Architekturschulen gebaut. Die Hauptgründe dafür liegen in neuen Raumanforderungen und im Streben nach Exzellenz in der Ausbildung. Trotz des Anspruchs vieler Institutionen, Konzepte für eine neue, innovative Architektur zu vermitteln, sind die Schulen beim Bau ihrer eigenen Anlagen oft an enge Auflagen und vorgegebene Raumprogramme gebunden. Wie können unter diesen Voraussetzungen Freiräume für die Architekturausbildung entstehen und zukunftsweisende Ideen sowie unkonventionelle Nutzungen gefördert werden?
