This pictorial essay reflects on a unique category of architectural drawing that depicts spaces that cannot physically exist. By depicting the ephemeral nature of our social relations, Drawing the Impossible suggests that this specific mode of drawing plays a significant role in the way meaning is created in social spaces.
It draws upon Michel Foucault's theoretical allegory of the heterotopic mirror, illustrated this with images from Tipene’s project The Virtual Relations (2009).
This project combined this methodology of 'drawing the impossible’, with Henri Lefebvre's theory of the production of space, to develop five spatial descriptions that explore the ephemeral conditions of social interaction.
