Table/Masa
One Equals Many
Workshop & Lecture / Online
TEDU, Ankara
ARCH201, Fall 2020-2021
December 11, 2020, 10.30-15.00
This workshop explores the modes of being on the table as well as constructing a “table” through verbal, visual and tectonic conversations through drawing the line. A broadened drawing-scape for a journey of a variety of lines will be encouraged.
The meaning of table, the image of table, the purpose of table, the spatiality of table, being on the table will be questioned. Table will be dreamed and reconstructed as a paper construction that provides a dialogue between drawings, between us.
