Emma Letizia Jones, UTS
LECTURE TITLE: The Lineage of the Line [The Origins of the Schinkel Style]
The talk will present work in progress from a forthcoming book on early nineteenth century Prussian architect Karl Friedrich Schinkel’s drawing practice. The discussion will focus on the ideological origins of the ‘outline’ drawing, a visual style that emerged during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries in both artistic and architectural representations and their printed reproductions. It will discuss how Schinkel made use of the outline style and its theoretical implications in his own work, and how these delineations directly impacted upon his design practice.
