In the first years of architectural study students are challenged to develop their ability to perceive the World around them. As an analytical exercise, students were asked to capture movement in a drawing. Whereas traditional architectural graphics represent a still, static thing, the motion drawing is conceived as a multi-relational, disjointed composition. These disjunctions imply what we, the students, were meant to learn: that no singular instance can be understood without looking at the others; each part has a relationship to the rest; and, every construction is off-balance because of the traces of another construction.
