the promise has the power to move us. a longing for its presence.If the naturalism and graphic virtuosity of architectural portrayals are too great, if they lack "open patches" where our imagination and curiosity about the reality of the drawing can penetrate the image,the portrayal itself becomes the object of our desire, and our longing for its reality wanes because there is little or nothing in the representation that points to the intended reality beyond it.The portrayal no longer holds a promise. lt refers only to itself.
Design drawings that refer to a reality which still lies in the future are important in my work. I continue working on my drawings until they reach the delicate point of representation when the prevailing mood| seek emerges, and | stop before inessentials start detracting from its impact. The drawing itself must take on the quality of the sought-for object. It is like a sketch by a sculptor for his sculpture, not merely an illustration of an idea but an innate part of the work of creation,which ends with the constructed object. These sort of drawings enable us to step back, to look, and to learn to understand that which has not yet come into being and which has just started to emerge.
