The potential of the architectural survey lies in its mobilizing of something known into unforeseeable future uses (from building to visions) . This course centers on recasting the architectural survey from conveyor of building facts to instrument for building stories. Operating somewhere between the limits of absolute truth and virtual truth, our research will aim to uncover new ways of engaging architecture’s relationship to vision, documentation, and the art of renewal (or preservation) against the backdrop of racial, economic, and material conditions in the turn-of-the century South. More specifically, the site of the course will be Tuskegee University and the legacy of Robert R.  \nTaylor, the first accredited Black architect, MIT graduate, and designer and builder of a significant portion of the campus’s brick buildings. Students will consider Taylor’s work both in the present context and its inception under Booker T. Washington’s leadership.  \nIn addition to rigorously surveying a building through traditional and non-traditional survey methods and media, students will engage Taylor’s legacy through on-site field work paired with archival research. Observations will be filtered through distinct ways of looking to describe an existing building not as it is but as it is seen by the student. The results, a set of unconventional as-built drawings, will question and advance visuality as architecture’s essential resource.  \nFor this course, travel is required and will take place prior to the start ofthe spring semester (Sunday 1/26-Friday 1/31) . The travel week will involve a mix of tours, teaching, discussions, and on-site surveying. Following our travels, class days are formatted around lectures, readings, discussions, tutorials, desk and pinup critiques.  \nFormat  \nThis course is structured like a studio (class days are formatted around lectures, readings, discussions, tutorials, desk and pin-up critiques). Unlike a studio, students will not be designing a building. Rather, students will be designing the drawings of a building – a building that already exists in the world. Where atypical studio intervenes in a site, this course intervenes in the record of a site. With that, we proceed from building sites to building sights. The course is formatted around three interrelated parts: Part 1 – Measured Survey, Part 2 – Mediated Survey, and Part 3 – Public Survey.  \nPart 1 prioritizes direct observation, measurement, and drawing. A site visit to Tuskegee University prompts firsthand documentation of the material, tectonic, and social qualities of its campus buildings and will infuse specific techniques for the production of an initial ‘as-found’ set of drawings. Like an archeologist, Part 1 will underscore the individual’s ability to experiment with new ways of seeing to reveal the existing building’s physical character, among other qualities.  \nWhere Part 1 is occupied with precision and measurable data manifest through measured drawings, Part 2 explores the survey as a framework both for documenting existing conditions and also developing techniques for speculative architectural images.  \nPart 3 considers audience. Some of our earliest architectural surveys have endured for centuries and live in the public domain, making architecture accessible to anyone. Viollet-le-Duc’s ten-volume descriptive dictionary of French architecture can be found in Google Books, for instance. We adopt the premise that a survey must, at a minimum, persist – for audiences past, present, or future.
