In this lecture, Mark Cousins considers architectural representation, debating whether drawing is hegemonized through a distinction between representation and reality. He gives a general account of the relationship between sense experience, in which there is a subject, and a biological being that can represent what is beyond the skin. He presents the work and ideas of thinkers including Bruno Snell and Heinrich Wölfflin.
