Architectural Drawing as Spatial Praxis – Eileen Gray, war irische Innenarchitektin (1878 – 1976). Ihr Tisch E.1027 ist ihr bekanntester Produktentwurf, der als Design-Klassiker unverändert nachgebaut, aber auch plagiiert wird. Erst zum Ende des 20 Jahrhundert wurden ihre Entwürfe angemessen gewürdigt. Ihr bekanntestes Wohnhaus ist das E1027 Roquebrune-Cap-Martin an der Französischen Riviera.
This presentation examines the relationship between Eileen Gray’s distinctive drawing techniques and the spatial qualities of her architecture. It begins with Gray’s sketches for the Galerie Jean Désert in Paris, carried out (most likely with Jean Badovici) in 1922, and extends to her drawings for the houses E 1027 in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin (1926–29) and Tempe a Pailla outside Castellar (1931–35).
