Vivian Lee Participates in MIT Discussion “Does Drawing Have a Future?”
Vivian Lee of LAMAS participated in the MIT School of Architecture + Planning event Does Drawing Have a Future?, presented through Aggregate, a platform dedicated to architectural media and discourse. The panel brought together architects and educators to discuss how computational tools, simulation, and machinic processes are reshaping architectural representation and the role of drawing within contemporary practice.
The discussion focused on changing relationships between orthographic drawing, digital visualization, and architectural reasoning. Participants examined how emerging representational techniques were altering both architectural pedagogy and practice, while raising broader questions about the future of drawing as a disciplinary tool and cultural medium.
Vivian Lee’s participation reflects LAMAS’ ongoing engagement with architectural representation, image-making, and disciplinary research. The conversation situated drawing not only as a means of documentation, but as an evolving framework for speculation, projection, and the production of architectural ideas within increasingly digital design environments.
