This article presents parallel and collaborative research and teaching practices that expand approaches to encountering site through the lenses of observation and performative drawing. These drawing practices record phenomena, whilst in their presence, through a designed temporal framework. This asks the drawer to observe over a duration of time and to record the world in motion. By spending an extended period of time in the presence of the phenomenon of our study, with active receptivity, our capacity to see shifts. Rather than the drawn outcomes of this observation recording a past time, the notion of experiential time – and an expanded present – is embedded in the act of drawing. These processes of observation and performative drawing allude to Edmund Husserl’s expression of a ‘thickened present’. The outcomes of this drawing practice demonstrate that observational techniques are embodied, relational, temporal and generative and so offer an alternative approach to site analysis. How this approach sits within the larger domain of spatial temporal relationships and forms of drawing are also considered.

就地和及时

本文介绍了并行和协作的研究和教学实践，它们通过观察和功能性绘图的方式扩展了遇到地点的方法。这些绘画实践通过设计的时间框架记录现象的存在。这要求抽屉观察一段时间并记录运动中的世界。通过在存在我们的研究现象的情况下花费很长时间，并具有积极的接受能力，我们的观察能力就会发生变化。绘制行为中嵌入了体验时间和扩展的现在的概念，而不是记录过去时间的观察结果得出的结果。这些观察和表现绘画的过程暗示着埃德蒙·胡塞尔（Edmund Husserl）对“加厚礼物”的表达。该绘图实践的结果表明，观测技术是体现，关系，时间和生成的，因此为现场分析提供了另一种方法。还考虑了这种方法在更大的空间时间关系和绘图形式中的位置。
