Flakturm Archives or the Panopticon in Reverse (via Dpr-barcelona)
This project undertakes to design archives within one of the Flakturm, former Second World War anti-aircraft towers in the center of Vienna. The idea of constructing an archive within a bunker is not a neutral one. The defensiveness of this building allows, both symbolically and literally, to host and protect goods against the alteration of the externality —whether it is time or a more direct antagonism. Many civilizations of the past have been annihilated, not only physically, but absolutely as any form of their production has been also destroyed with them. The recent history would have still seen several tragic examples of ethnical cleansing directly linked to processes of cultural destructions.

Seher Shah (b. 1975, Pakistan) situates her work at the intersection of architecture and drawing. With degrees in art and architecture, Shah’s practice emerges from the overlapping fields of architectural history and practice.

Architectural rendering is most definitely an art form.
The work of Alan Dunlop of gm+ad architects. Absolutely stunning. The way they change the framing of the perspectives by having the line work escape the bounding box is a strong gesture that has the architecture jump out of the drawing where it could otherwise shrink back into it.
