Video Clip Folly Project, Groningen, The Netherlands, Exterior perspective

Wolf D. Prix
Austrian, born 1942

Polish, born 1944

A brisk graphite sketch on spiral-bound notepad paper in which architect Wolf D. Prix experiments with an energetic exterior perspective for a proposed folly in Groningen.
A dense cluster of intersecting, angular graphite strokes near the top reads like overlapping planes and directional arrows against a large, untouched lower field, with faint handwritten notes reinforcing its provisional, working quality.
The drawing reveals the artist’s quick, gesture-driven method for exploring form and movement—showing how architects use immediate sketches to generate bold, deconstructivist ideas before they become built work.
