Die Linie ist das konstitutive Moment jeder Zeichnung und bildet somit f&#252;r den Gestalter &#8211; ob in der Architektur, in der Kunst, im St&#228;dtebau oder auch im Design &#8211; das zentrale Element des Entwurfs. Sie l&#228;sst sich nicht auf ein rein lineares System reduzieren, sondern wirkt in einem komplexen, bewegten Gebilde, das den Betrachter auf unterschiedlichen Ebenen anspricht &#8211; sowohl bewusst als auch suggestiv. Ob analog oder digital, sie ist mobil, indem sie sich auf der Fl&#228;che entfaltet: als Gerade, schlangen- und zickzackf&#246;rmig, geknickt, unterbrochen oder gar unsichtbar. Das Buch f&#252;hrt Seite f&#252;r Seite die Vielschichtigkeit der Linie vor Augen: anhand von faszinierenden Beispielen aus Architektur, Design und Kunst ebenso wie in Interviews mit Gestaltern und Essays verschiedener Autoren. Die Herausgeberin, Ivana Wingham, ist ausgebildete Architektin der Architectural Associaton London und lehrt derzeit als Senior Lecturer und Subject Leader of Master in Architectural Studies an der University of Brighton, UK.

The line is the constitutive element of every drawing and forms the core element of any design &#8211; for art, architecture, urban design or design in general. It resists reduction to simple linearity, but rather takes on complex and dynamic forms that attract the viewer in various ways, both consciously and suggestively. Whether analogue or digital, line is mobile as the forces, movements and effects that line produce are different for each type of line: straight, meandering, interrupted or even invisible. The book is a stimulating celebration of the manifold aspects of line, using unique examples from architecture, design and art, combining interviews with designers and essays by various authors. Ivana Wingham is an architect and academic. She is Head of Architecture Programme at Brighton University, UK. She completed her undergraduate studies in Architecture at the University of Belgrade, Serbia, moved to UK and continued her postgraduate studies at the Architectural Association, became registered architect and completed her Ph.D. at the Bartlett School of Architecture UCL, London.

She exposes the diversity of meanings and influences that a line might hold once drawn, while pointing out its subversive tendencies to lead the line&#8217;s author astray during the act of drawing. Her book draws on the research of some of the most respected thinkers in the field through a series of conversations and presents examples of by a talented group of practitioners suitably corrupted by the lines they have drawn." Professor Nat Chard, University of Brighton "The originality of the research is in the way it brings together diverse theories and practices to interrogate the line as a constitutive element across art, design and architecture. In this way it positions the line beyond merely being a tool of representation; the line becomes a way of interrogating practice. Architects, students and scholars reading this book will gain exposure to theories and practices they may not have encountered before. At the same time, canonical figures and works are repositioned. The quality of visual material is first rate, and on that basis alone will engage a wide audience, beyond those with specialised knowledge. Overall, /Mobility of the Line: Art, Architecture, Design/ is an excellent outcome of sustained research." Professor Charles Rice, Head of School of Art and Design History Kingston University, London "By interrogating the drawing&#8217;s most basic component, the line, fresh insights into the potential of the drawing emerge. /Mobility of the Line: Art Architecture Design/ sets out a multifaceted discussion of the most basic device in architecture, art and design, one that implies deployment beyond representation. Deepening our understanding of the line&#8217;s role and use as a trans-disciplinary critical tool opens up possibilities for the production of new types of work across creative, cultural and critical practices." Professor Tom Jefferies, Head of Manchester School of Architecture </body></html>
