Drawing as a notation

Abstract: Drawing as a notation is a method for architecture which investigates the notation and mark making of classical music as an input and explores how these notations can inform unexpected architectural outcomes through a translation process of the notations. The purpose of this study is to look into drawing as a notation as a method and a tool and to discover new architectural formations. By interpreting and translating the marks, new suggestions for architecture can be found which express the formal language of music. I am interested in the dynamics of music - the repetition, the movement, and the rhythm - and what music can do for architecture. This is not a solution to anything or doesn’t try to solve anything, but rather a search or a struggle to find opportunities with the help of notation making in early stages of an architecture project and to propose what architecture can be.
