![]() ![]() Finally, the article questions the figure of the architect in relation to their own sketches. ![]() ![]() Taken together, these two analyses and Hadid’s earlier explorations of architectural space generate alternative meanings to the lines of her sketch for the MAXXI. These writings on the role of the line form an important basis that questions the nature of abstraction in the sketch. The second studies the line in relation to Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari’s concept of ‘smooth space’. The first relies on the ideational function of the line in architectural practice, as proposed by Andrew Benjamin. Two analyses are carried out to unravel the greater significance of the sketch in architecture. Analysing one sketch drawn by Zaha Hadid in the process of designing the MAXXI in Rome, this article aims to offer ways to reconsider the role of the sketch. This contributes to architecture’s disciplinary development and experimentation. However, this privilege is also problematic, as it obscures the greater intellectual basis of the sketch. The sketch has long occupied a privileged position in architecture as the conceptual origin of a realised building. ![]()
