Building with Writing: Translations from Drawing to Building and Other Essays

Stan Allen and Michael Meredith discuss the text Translations from Drawing to Building and Other Essays by Robin Evans, first published in 1986, an influential piece in shaping Stan’s thinking around architectural drawing specifically, and the agency of architecture as a projective practice in general.  Stan Allen is an architect, writer, educator, and former dean of Princeton University School of Architecture. Michael Meredith teaches and runs a small practice with Hilary Sample.   Guest: Stan Allen Host: Michael Meredith  Editor: Michael Meredith, Bruce Hongming Liang These conversations were recorded in parallel to the exhibition Building with Writing at Princeton University School of Architecture in Spring 2025, on the work of Stan Allen.
