Footprints CNC Pen Plot on White Melamine 144” x 96” Collaboration with @pmacdowell + Dan Dudziak The Footprints drawing panels depict an overlapping composition of selected project sites, a collection of topographical surveys. The illustration sources draw documents from various projects, combined with the visual notations of topography and surveyed landscapes. The project reflects on the buildings foundations, tracing the footprint as a physical identification printed within the landscape. The Footprints project is interested in grounding site lines and topographic mapping found within the context of the site, space, and the places architecture is situated upon. Such an approach to the drawings pattern or image language renders the overall drafted composition to be more optically tactile as an surface, rather than contextual as a document. The sampled drawings attempt to read more informal, arranged what notations and line work. The panels communicate an appreciation for the places we build through the notational language of architectural drafting conventions. *2026

#UncoolGallery_SoloShowOpenCall Uncool Gallery presents Measures, a solo exhibition by Campbell Brod, hosted at Lista Studios in Brooklyn. Measures uses drawing as a structure for art-thinking, investigating how measurement becomes form through the relationship between tool, surface, and spatial perception. Working from the language of architectural drafting, Brod examines how legibility is produced, interrupted, or displaced. The exhibition brings together drafted drawings, MDF works, sketchbooks, projection media, drawing instruments, and modular display structures. Across these works, the drafted line appears as a mark of measurement and as a residue of movement, calibration, and time. Measures is presented as part of Uncool Gallery’s Solo Show Open Call, a quarterly curatorial project supporting artists through exhibitions, features, and dialogue. Through this project, the selected artist receives a $1,000 stipend and a solo exhibition developed with Uncool Gallery. More details via link in bio.

Footprints CNC Pen Plot on White Melamine 144” x 96” Collaboration with @pmacdowell + Dan Dudziak The drawings are fabricated utilizing a CNC pen plotting process. Fine point drafting pens are mounted within the collet of the router and are guided along programmed toolpaths across white melamine-coated MDF sheet stock to illustrate related site survey documents. This method combines the precision of computational fabrication with the tactile qualities of hand-drafted linework, positioning the drawing between mechanical automation and traditional conventions in architectural representation. Drafting the drawings with the CNC reveals, within the quality of the linework, the imperfections of the material and nuances of machine paths, adding a visual layer of physical values back into the drawing quality. Through hybrid drawing techniques, the work achieves a characteristically digital and consistent line proportion, yet retains subtle evidence of its physical production. Variations in material grain, surface friction, pen pressure, and slight machine vibration introduce deviations in the ink. These traces reveal the presence of both the tool and the substrate, embedding the drawing with a record of its own making. By drafting through the CNC rather than printing, the drawing becomes an artifact of the process rather than merely an output. The resulting linework exposes an algorithmic sequencing between digital and physical drawing types and their relationship to their physical capabilities. The Footprint Panels offer a visual register of the drawn logic embedded in contemporary fabrication workflows, evidenced in traces of fine line tooling patches. The drawings sit at the intersection of digital precision and analog imperfection, as representation becomes both documentation and object. The drawings generate a graphic field of documented places. *2026

Vanishing Acts: Architecture in the Age of Surveillance Imaging Publication 9 798218 685034 348 pgs I505 Vanishing Acts is a cross-disciplinary investigation into the architectures of surveillance and the evolving mechanics of visibility, vision, and imaging. Positioned within frameworks of architectural design, media theory, and counter-surveillance technologies, the book explores how methods of surveillance and countermeasures exchange within the information age. Studied through a series of critical essays, visual research, speculative fiction, and case studies, the work reveals how surveillance imaging systems shape our articulation of the built environment. Drawing from the thesis project Vanishing Acts and its narrative counterpart (SIX), the book fluctuates across multiple scales and formats, examining the infrastructures of optics through mechanical and digital technologies. The project examines how ambiguous atmospheres of imaging are visualized and speculated within architecture through exhibitions and installations. At its center, the work questions what it means to be visible, hidden, or misrecognized within a context that is increasingly governed by machine vision and data capture. The book documents the M.Arch thesis exhibition Vanishing Acts + (SIX) and its developing body of research. M.Arch Thesis *2025
