Perry Kulper at BCU

A visionary in architectural representation, Kulper’s work operates at the intersection of speculation, narrative, and spatial invention, constructing intricate drawing-based worlds that blur the boundaries between the conceptual and the real. His approach is one of deep exploration and provocation, where drawing is not merely a tool for depiction but a generative act—one that constructs, dissects, and reimagines architectural possibilities.

In this lecture, Kulper unravelled his distinctive drawing methodologies, sharing insights into the processes of layering, mapping, coding, and notational systems that shape his radical visual language. It was a journey through dense, hybridised cartographies where architecture emerges from shifting interpretations, speculative storytelling, and the tension between control and unpredictability. His work operates in a space where ambiguity becomes productive, and where the act of drawing becomes a site of architectural inquiry, resistance, and invention.

The lecture ignited discussions on representation as an active design tool, the potentials of architectural narratives, and the role of drawing in constructing future spatial possibilities.
