Apparent heretical drawing
Abstract
One of the aspects of architecture, probably the most comforting one, is drawing understood in the double meaning of intention and representation of something real or imagined; sketches, in their essential traits, communicate a thought, an intention, a desire, the idea and the will to form very often translating into refined drawings that are functional not only to a more precise transmission of the concept but also to the construction of the 'thing'. One of the main aspects of drawing is, as Vittorio Gregotti states, that of "technical communication, of the objective or conventional representation of the elements that constitute the parts of the whole of an object to be constructed".
