On Friday 28 and Saturday 29 April Drawing Matter hosted a study symposium in the archive at Shatwell Farm, part of the conference Drawings as Objects of Knowledge Part II: The Archive Nurtures a Culture of Circularity, convened by KU Leuven and TU Delft.

In addition to presentations by invited applicants, the symposium included a special session on Alison and Peter Smithson’s drawings for Upper Lawn, loaned for the occasion by the Smithson family, and concluded with a visit to the building itself.

This film is part of series of posts of selected papers from the study symposium. More about the event, and other films and written papers, can be found here: www.drawingmatter.org/drawings-as-objects-of-knowledge-study-symposium.
