Drawn Closer is a collaboration between Domus and Drawing Matter. Each issue of the magazine Domus features one architect discussing a drawing which they recognise as a transformative moment in their work.
Architect Van Hee shows and writes about House Van Hee, her own house.
“I try to eliminate a lot on the way through drawing. Having just an idea is not enough. I draw to deepen things, even when it means eventually eliminating them. It’s not spoiling energy to test the limits of how far you can go.”
The long version of the text appears on Drawn matter and an abridged version in the January issue of Domus.
Domus 2020 is guest-edited by David Chipperfield.
