Riku Yamakawa | Aokid's "Let's Sketch & Draw the Environment (with inspiration for movement triggers)" and others (From "BUG SCHOOL 2025: Moment Scape" / Part 2)
This article analyzes Aokid's drawings in comparison with architectural drawings by Daniel Libeskind and Lebbeus Woods shown at the "BUG SCHOOL 2025" exhibition.Summary
This article, the second part focusing on the exhibition "BUG SCHOOL 2025: Moment Scape," compares the drawing practice of artist Aokid with the architectural drawings of Daniel Libeskind and Lebbeus Woods. Libeskind's drawings present fragmented spaces that appear isometric but ultimately break down the representation, remaining open and unclosed. In contrast, Woods' realistic drawings depict landscapes where the sequence of events is lost, suggesting a reality that is continuous yet disconnected. Aokid’s drawings, while depicting a fragmented world, incorporate the presence of the viewer—the "other"—and imagine their movement through the space. The author concludes by suggesting that it might be Aokid and the countless viewers pointed to by him who connect the missing context and transitions that the architects could not depict, implying that the readers themselves have already begun this process of creation.
