AnArchi

Drawing Abroad Aachen ✏️📕

From quick portraits and panoramic studies to collective work, cadavre exquis, and design transformations, the drawing exercises moved between observation and interpretation, between what is seen and what is felt.

Working through Impressionism and Expressionism, we tested different ways of reading architecture: atmosphere, texture, historical layers, residual spaces, and the everyday fragments that shape a place.

Thank you to everyone who took part in this year's Drawing Abroad. We hope to see you again next year! 🤍🖤

Texture hunting 🌀

Are you ready to go on a hunt for the textures that surround us every day? Join us for this very exciting and creative afternoon! On Tuesday 26th of May, we will walk around Eindhoven and use clay to print different patterns and textures that we find around us: tree trunks, façade details, stone work,… 🧱 everything is a possibility! We will then use these pieces of textured clay to make beautiful prints that you can stamp on your sketchbooks and can keep for future drawings! So don’t forget to bring a sketchbook or some paper. 🖍️

A full week of digging through books, and finding new references. Always a good excuse to expand the collection.

Mar 4 – Photoshop Training 👾
Leveling up our rendering game. New tools, better workflows, and fewer last-minute struggles (hopefully).

Mar 21 – Tilburg Film Festival Excursion 🎥🎬
Stepping away from architecture for a bit. A day filled with films, fresh perspectives, and seeing storytelling in a completely different way.

Mar 25 – Bamboo Lecture 🎍
Getting ready for the next challenge. Learning about bamboo as a material and starting to think about what’s possible.

Thanks to everyone who joined—more coming soon🤪
