| Abstract |
This study aims at finding out the characteristics and influences of Libeskind’s early drawing works through comparisons of each drawing. The importance of his experimental drawing works is not only their uniqueness but also relationship to creation and development of his architecture. Libeskind’s musical and educational background had great impacts on forming his early drawings. A series of drawings including ‘Micromegas’, ‘Chamberworks’, and ‘Theatrum Mundi’ shows variety and experiments about reconstruction of three dimensional architectural fragments, abstractive line drawing and plane oriented painting. Libeskind himself cease to experiment drawing techniques but their characteristics still remain in his sketches, diagram and conceptual drawings. In spite of influences of undergraduate design studios, theoretical background of graduate studies, their experimental features are due to his continuous endeavor to make and develop his drawing skills and contents. As a result, his early drawings act as media and way to communicate and develop his concepts. |
