5 buildings by Mies van der Rohe
DOCTA MANUS, DRAWING STRUCTURES UE GC – EPFL, is the first publication that shows a selection of 24 working drawings from an atelier of 30 students in civil engineering and architecture that took place during the autumn semester 2020 at EPFL. Each student analyzed one out of five selected projects of Mies van der Rohe, exploring adequate scales, drawing types and techniques to understand the project’s structure and construction principles.
The drawings thus include dimensioning and fabrication notes up to catalogue of elements, mounting principles and sequence. The careful construction of layers of information by hand builds up into tactile working drawings that embody the spatial and tectonic ideas as well as the construction process of a structure.
This Teaching Unit has received financial support from the Section of Civil Engineering. The lecturers are very appreciative of the support received and would like to thank Dr. Pascal Turberg for his constant support, time and personal involvement.
