Despite the obvious diversity in the ideology, materiality and character of architectural production, here it is argued that the way we (architects) draw is surprisingly uniform. One reason for this might be the limited range of materials and tools we draw with, and their generic qualities. Architect, researcher and maker Nat Chard reveals relationships between acts of drawing, making images and making ideas, by taking us through the design and manufacture of a series of analytical drawing instruments and contingent works.

One of the most radical MArch units at the Bartlett School of Architecture, University College London is Unit X25, fronted by Nat Chard, Professor of Experimental Architecture, and Emma‐Kate Matthews. Chard has longstanding preoccupations with modelling, strange points of view and optical machines. This often results in his pupils producing work that questions the status quo in architecture and the spatial assumptions on which it is based, resulting in spectacular propositions.
