Time Theft
I am interested in the unseen forces that prevent work from getting done. This drawing records two forms of time theft that I frequently encounter as a working architect. Blue denotes meetings that could have been an email, one of many forms of tacit time wasting in the corporate workplace. Green denotes trips to the toilet to check my phone or take a micro-nap, an unseen drag on productivity of my own design.

This text is one of the selected responses to the second category of the Open Call 2025: Visibility, and the Unseen—a series of short contributions that either bring to the surface the unseen drawings within the Drawing Matter Collection (I. In the Archive) or explore original architectural drawings, created by the author(s) of the contribution, which make visible the unseen (II. In Practice).
