Ana Aragão featured at The Observer | The Guardian: the new age of virtual architecture.
February 2023 kicked off with a bang!
Regarding the exhibition “Vanishing Points” that opens this week in London, Ana Aragão appears in great prominence in the renowned British newspaper The Observer, edited and published by The Guardian.
“Something big is happening,” says Hamza Shaikh, the architect and brain that created the exhibition that combines contemporary drawings with those of great architects in the past. Lent by Drawing Matter, a private collection of 35,000 architectural drawings and models housed in Somerset, these exhibits will include a rough crayon sketch by Le Corbusier for an unbuilt Olympic stadium in Baghdad; the Post-it notes on which Zaha Hadid delivered her ideas to her staff; and a 1798 drawing of a Roman basilica by the French neoclassicist Charles Percier.
Ana Aragão’s was invited to showcase some of her works, together with other “new age architects” that challenge the ways of representation through drawing. At The Guardian, her impressive piece “Babel” captured by the lenses of Claudia Rocha.
From this ferment gathered by Hamza, has also come a book, Drawing Attention: Architecture in the Age of Social Media, to be published by RIBA Publishing.
A special thanks to Rowan Moore, the architecture critic of the Observer and author of the article.
