Directions for getting lost: or how to change your mind

Abstract

Architect Mark W West creates work that is incredibly delicately drawn. Here he documents the construction of his drawings, while his friend, whose name is also Mark West, contributes a commentary about the creative process behind them. The two texts reveal how the works defy the damage caused by reductive traditional architectural education and general experience, and open the viewer to a sense of greater wholeness, however disturbing this may be.
