About

Drawing London Exhibition

For this year’s Open House Festival, Drawing Matter will present an exhibition that explores how architects have used drawing(s) to imagine alternative ways of living, from the scale of individual dwellings to radical urban and planetary visions. Primarily focused on work made from the 1950s to the 1970s, the exhibition brings together drawings from an international group of architects and designers, including Superstudio, Archigram, Hans Hollein, Claude Parent, Yona Friedman, Arata Isozaki, Paolo Soleri, and Aerolande.

Walk-arounds

At 11.00 on Saturday 19 and Sunday 20, members of the Drawing Matter team will lead informal walk-arounds of the exhibition, offering the chance to learn more about the drawings on display and Drawing Matter's work.
