While Alper Aydın exhibits the thirty-five drawings he has produced in seven years that qualify as the initial representations of his works, the viewers witness how a “design” in the process of contemplation is developed and implemented. Although the drawings are referred to as sketches, they include exact details and measurements of the projects. The fact that the artist chooses this method in today’s world, where any kind of idea can easily and rapidly become a design with the help of digital drawing and application tools, proves that the conceptual infrastructure of his works is consolidated with the ties established with the past. The role of the sketches in internalizing the project and solving potential issues also provides a contextual base for the work in viewers’ minds.
