Animating Guarini is thus a historical account and a reimagining of orthographic projection as a drawing technique that precedes convention."</p> <p> </p> <p>Mark&rsquo;s drawings have been published in <a href="https://archinect.com/firms/cover/46037753/log" target="_blank">LOG</a>, 306090, and the catalog for the Museum of Modern Art exhibition Uneven Growth.
