On Tuesday 29 August 2023, RSUA was delighted to host a talk with the internationally best-selling architect, design and graphic author, Frank Ching.
Most architects will have sought support from Frank at one point or other in their studies as they turned to one of his books, for example Architectural Graphics (first published 1975) or Architecture: Form, Space and Order (first published 1979). Frank’s books have been widely influential and continue to shape the visual language of all fields of design.
Frank joined us live from Seattle for a presentation covering his journey that led him to be an “accidental academic”, the power of communicating through hand drawing and his views on the role of modern design technologies. One of the highlights of Frank’s presentation was the video below which shows the development of a drawing from start to finish.
The presentation was followed by an open question and answer session chaired by architect and artist, Peter Monaghan, Chair of the nascent RSUA Digital Design Committee.
