Polyptych: Exploring Depictions of Time in Architectural Drawing Through an Experimental Drawing Process. Part 2 Dissertation 2023 Amar Chekchak Ulster University | UK The dissertation explores the relationship between architectural drawing and time. How can drawing capture and embed one of the most important dimensions of architecture: that of time? The process of architectural drawing often unconsciously erases this key dimension through focusing on quantifying space, material and assembly. In asking what different historical perspectives exist as readings of time through drawing, and seeking to uncover the possibility of conceiving architectural drawing in a different way, the dissertation looks to art practices which explore different depictions of time, such as that of the sequential triptych. The ultimate outcome of time in architecture is the ruin, and in turn the ruin becomes the constructed fantasy. The drawings of Joseph Gandy deconstruct through drawing the distance between the construction, and the ruin: an interstitial space where time is held still. Taking the island of Inishmurray off the West Coast of Ireland to situate my exploration of time, my dissertation is a research space conceived between the written word and the exploratory drawing structure of a polyptych installation, where different dimensions of time on the island, from ancient geological time through to that of imaginative and projective constructions are explored.
