日本語 / The Draftery is a visual compendium of drawings, architectural representation, and prints that began as a web-based digital archive. In contrast to the website, the quarterly publication serves as a platform for a more careful, direct, and intimate examination of a smaller handful of work. The book provides a glimpse into each contributor’s personal rhetoric and the processes involved in their creative practice.

日本語 / Contributors:

Tom Ngo is an artist currently residing in Toronto, Canada. Using absurdity as a rhetorical device, he questions (architectural) conventions in his drafted drawings.

Catrina Stewart is a recent architecture school graduate. Her work envisions and proposes a new ad-hoc urban future and its implications on the city’s inhabitants in her home town of London, England.

Jesen Tanadi is a designer and printmaker. He enjoys geometry, architectural hyperboles, and subterranean spaces and can be found in Providence, Rhode Island.

Olalekan Jeyifous seamlessly combines digital and analog media as an artist and designer based in Brooklyn, New York. His work depicts dystopian urban visions.

Perry Kulper’s interests revolve around the role of representation in the production of architecture. He creates his heavily-layered drawings in Ann Arbor, Michigan and teaches at University of Michigan’s Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning.
