On architectural drawing today. Notes, observations, questions

Abstract

The disciplines of Drawing, as defined in the sector’s manifesto, in their broadest sense, are concerned with understanding formal structure, and with analysing, conveying, appreciating and disseminating existing values, both tangible and intangible; from this derive its main fields: the scientific- technological and the social-humanistic. For some years now – almost coinciding with the ‘digital revolution’ – we have witnessed an ever-increasing volume of scientific output that is more closely aligned with one aspect of the first sphere – the technological sphere – rather than with the second sphere or the scientific aspect of the first.
