just curious about architectural drawing and/or diagram representation (particularly drawings, not renderings, unless part of the drawings).
which firms are known for their (innovative/interesting/different/conceptual) representational techniques? ...ie. the drawings are "as important" to the presentation as the design/project itself?
and, any books to recommend on this topic please? thank you.
Diller, Scofidio + Renfro: I know you're interested in 2D (which they do very well), but their model of the Slow House is out of control!
Ed Tufte is awesome
Tschumi has some beautiful stuff, although i feel that his diagrammatic exercises in the Manhattan Transcripts leave a little too much room for interpretation.
Orochi, Gehry's sketches is a very evocative nomination. Care to elaborate? Is that what the film is about? Is there anything published on Gehry's sketches?
Also check out Steven Holl's (drawing/painting) work.
Once upon a time, Daniel Libeskind did some interesting drawings, as did Neil Denari. Comments about their built work are best left unsaid in this thread, methinks.
architectural representation. drawing. diagrams. etc...

Gehry's sketches. Seriously.

Drawing, by Peter Cook: http://www.amazon.com/Drawing-motive-architecture-Architectural-Design/dp/0470034807/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1248800497&sr=8-1

FLW sketches are easy to identify, hand drawn on parchment
as well as the architects of the High Tech era (Foster, Rogers, etc) ghost images with a spot of colour.
FLW - amazing diversity
Hadid - diverse as well, powerful, my favorite, by far
Eisenman - some great ones as well (see Diagram Diaries)
Others worth mentioning, but lacking the beauty of the above (imho), Libesking, Morphosis, Miralles & Pinos, Tschumi
thanks for all the nice replies!
hand drawings are definitely appreciated, but i was more thinking about drawing as 2d representation (not so much about hand drawing/sketching).
offices i had in mind were: patterns. reiser+umemoto. ruy klein.... are there any others??
(feel free to throw in your own interpretations/ideas/biases on this question/topic--i just gave mine))
and i definitely agree on diller.scofidio+renfro. libeskind. denari. and hadid. their drawings are awesome!
I am a fan of LTL, without a doubt.
LTL does create some amazing drawings...
here's another guy who draws like a CHAMP.

I don't know if they are what you're looking for, John Hejduk's drawings are a work unto themself...
