Re-appropriation and Representation are critical design practices. Underlining the dynamism of design’s process of inquiry, re-appropriation engages with the present by adopting a mediating role between the past and future. Codes from the past and imaginaries of the future are re-appropriated through operations such as re-drawing, re-making, re-writing, re-imagining, re-imaging and re-situating; things are re-presented, given presence again, a new world disclosed by an architectural project. Drawing On: Re-Appropriation and Representation, building on an associated research-by-design symposium of the same name organised by Paddi Alice Benson, Kieran Cremin, En Fang, Paul Pattinson, Paula Szturc, and Leo Xian, explores work which moves towards the reinvigoration of design as a dynamic field of play in time. As a prelude to the issue, Gijs Wallis de Vries’ offers an account of a search for Piranesi’s elusive concept of the Pensile City, and Dorian Wiszniewski and Christopher Pierce reflect on the ‘dynamics of recurrence’ in design practice, re-visiting Paul Ricœur‘s description of representation through ‘mimesis’.
