Drawing for the Project: Dimension and Space for an Architecture Imagined before its Realization

Gianandrea Barreca — Sun, 31 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0000

The languages with which we communicate thoughts, sensations and ideas are attempts to make the feelings we experience legible and above all aim at the desire to share our perspectives on life with the people around us. We learn as children to attempt a description of the things we feel on an emotional level, in a synthesis that respects rules of syntax and grammar, primarily in the language that belongs to us, because in this way we try to make things transmissible that do not seem to be so and which concern an internal sphere which, apparently, does not have such a clear form of communication and is instead more soul and chemistry than sound and vision.

Drawing and Performing Exploration in Ruin Site

Şebnem Çakaloğulları — Sun, 31 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0000

Concept of ruin is changed today. Building mass becomes a tool for terrorization of the body, it is a structure for the community's memory, and building becomes a place where working as witness is revelatory. The representation of ruin has an important role which not only presents various unity between subject and mass but also creates non-contextualized dialog in which all subjects and their relation with the site is drawing various abstract presentations of the environment. This paper is based on the concept of ruin which comes to architectural design practice in history. The aim of this paper is to meet our ancestral colleague today’s experiment of ruin and ruining site at first find a contemporary model and perspective to evaluate this areal research. Drawing is not an analytic tool; drawing becomes a tool to progress the investigation on site what is not given by space in the moment. Drawing ruins offers special interaction with the 21st century where the world of crises becomes a chance to change the dynamic of life in terms of culture and aesthetics. As a result, what drawing ruins teaches us, as it did help with its sacred inspiration about form animation of architects, expands the form to use as a key in tying moments for developing alternatives of experiment in actual time. Drawing is a creation of an actual miracle against physical limits which is an experience kind of a censure.

The Bohob Collective’s Research on Catania: ‘exquisite corpse’

Laura La Rosa, Luigi Pellegrino, Matteo Pennisi — Sun, 31 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0000

The paper investigates the research that the Bohob Architecture Collective is conducting on the city of Catania through two parallel paths: the Drawing of the city and the Minimum projects, held together by the drawing of architecture as a crucial tool in the discipline of architecture.
Sebastiano Ittar's 1832 Topographical Plan of the City of Catania depicts a city in which a new plan is undermined by the persistence of ancient fragments. This is the theoretical basis on which the Bohob collective's Drawing of the city is 'founded', with the aim of elaborating a plan in continuity with Ittar's idea, proposing a minimal but decisive advance.
The Minimum projects arise from the need to build urban places near the archaeological areas in the centre of Catania, currently perceived as marginal. They consist of a 'family' of precious shrines elaborated through the triptych, a drawing method that simultaneously holds together three scales: the 1:200 plan, the scale of the city; the 1:50 plan, the scale of the building; the 1:10 section, the scale of the architectural construct.
To the triptych, as a necessary appendix, is added the view, not so much the simulation of a future reality but the evocative representation of the idea behind the project: the city, archaeology and the minimal project on the threshold between the two.

On the Multivalence of Drawing

Filipe Magalhães, Lera Samovich — Sun, 31 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0000

The paper explores fala’s process of drawing, not as a daily routine, but as a source of breakthroughs and reconsiderations in established projects. It expresses a preference for drawings that exist for their intrinsic value, embodying intangible ideas, concepts, and reflections on form, space, and intelligence. The paper contends that a project unfolds through a plurality of drawings, highlighting the importance of single lines, collages wireframes, and renders. Referring to Charles Jencks’ concept of multivalence, it posits that each drawing influences and informs others, creating a multivalent experience that adds depth and meaning to the project. fala proposes that their built work is a byproduct of the drawing process, challenging the conventional view of the drawing’s dependence on clients, commissions, or sites. Each drawing is an independent entity, and the building itself is a form of drawing.
Drawing parallels with Kazuo Shinohara’s perspective, fala argues that the act of communication and rhetoric surrounding architecture is as crucial as the built form itself. The paper posits that drawings and representations hold a social value that transcends the physical existence of the architecture. In conclusion, the paper presents a compelling argument for the autonomy of drawings, their multivalent interplay, and their central role in shaping the narrative and cultural significance of architectural practice, echoing the idea expressed by Kazuo Shinohara in viewing architecture as a beautifully choreographed fiction.

Architecture through Drawing

Alessandro Melis — Sun, 31 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0000

The act of drawing has long been the foundational stone for architectural expression. Through the chaotic lines on a canvas, we can understand exaptation as a unique path to diversify architectural drawing frameworks, moving towards environmentally-conscious perspectives. [read more]

‘Abstract Machine’. Diagrams in Project Narrative

Maria Pia Amore — Sun, 31 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0000

In the successful relationship between architecture and communication, between project and narrative, between construction and image, the diagram certainly occupies an important position.
In the contemporary design practice’s shift towards prefiguring broad, open, deferrable, indeterminate and perfectible scenarios, the diagram’s effectiveness seems to lie precisely in its ability to transfer complex systems, phenomena and concepts in an immediate and complete way. This mainly graphic form of schematisation seems to configure itself as the most suitable tool for gathering the tensions of a time that is beginning to distance itself from formal perfection and authorial needs in order to slide from the architectural object to the design process.
The diagram is thus simplified, through a schematic didactic organisation: if it can prefigure the form of an architecture, describe its function and/or uses, the relationship between its parts, highlight a theme, an idea, a concept, here we are interested in highlighting its usefulness in the narrative construction of the design process, even ex post. The contribution therefore intends to propose a didactic ‘deconstruction’ of the diagram, with an inevitable simplification and reduction of its rich complexity, justified by the desire to propose not so much a definition of what the diagram is, but rather how it can be used.

AI-aided Design? Text-to-image Processes for Architectural Design

Matteo Flavio Mancini, Sofia Menconero — Sun, 31 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0000

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is marking a turning point in many aspects of human life, and it is appropriate to question its potential use in the architectural representation processes.
This contribution provides a brief overview of the recent past of AI technologies to explain how they work, a snapshot of the current state of the art from text-to-image processes to image-to-3D processes, mainly focusing on the StableDiffusion platform.
It also offers an overview of the latest studies in the field of architectural design. The subsequent experimentation becomes an opportunity to showcase the potential of AI in the co-creation process and the ability to simulate various graphic techniques, up to photorealistic visualization. On the other hand, it presents the limitations that, at the current stage of development, sometimes invalidate the results of text-to-image processes concerning the scientific aspects of representation.
The conclusions reflect on the differences between human and artificial intelligence, the theme of shared authorship between humans and machines, and their consequences for architectural design.

Instagrammable Architectural Drawing?

Michele Valentino — Sun, 31 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0000

Although the first social network dates back to the late 1970s, the real ‘Big Bang’ occurred twenty years ago, when 2003 Mark Zuckerberg led the birth of Facebook, still one of the most popular social networks today. However, even more critical to the discussion, including the interests of our community of image designers and researchers, is the emergence of social networks such as Pinterest and Instagram in 2010. The interest in these platforms lies in their way of sharing different forms of visuality, so much so that the digital images shared on these socials have become sources of inspiration for new generations, a kind of visual library, albeit a questionable one, to draw on for graphic production as well. Even architectural drawing has not been exempt from this practice, making architectural images more accessible to a broader audience. Today, it is common practice for architects to share their designs and drawings on these platforms, allowing people from different parts of the world to see, appreciate and even ‘consume’ their work.
In this regard, through the reconnaissance and comparative analysis of some social pages and profiles of architect-draftsman who share and promote architectural drawings, the essay aims to investigate the plurality and complexity of formal aspects of architectural drawing in the age of social networks in order to identify its limits, expressive potential, and underlying or explicit cultural prodromes. The primary intent of the essay is to bring more attention to a now widespread and established practice that calls us into question as a academic community.

Digital Hybridisation and Communication of the Design Process. The Case of Animated GIFs

Daniele Villa — Sun, 31 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0000

The visual codification of architectural representation in the 1920s, in its overt globalisation, is being enriched by a series of analogue-digital hybridisations that greatly broaden the spectrum of expressive possibilities of the early digital era: the maturation of quantitative tools (from BIM to GIS and all their possible derivations) is accompanied by many new qualitative visual containers that are the offspring of a digitalisation which is capable of giving space again to the ways and traditions of manual drawing, in its most diverse declinations. Among these, this paper intends to investigate the growing role played by animated GIFs, short recursive digital animations, in the communication of architectural design. Animated GIFs have been present since years in the landscape of the digital images shared on the web and have become a true professional tool, concise and powerful, capable of conveying a visual storytelling that is much closer than one would think to the established forms of architectural drawing. This type of animation plays on the possibility of condensing a (design and cognitive) process in a few seconds, leveraging the communicative power of the well-established codes of architectural representation, enhanced by the cyclical-temporal dimension.
They are small but sharp representation tools that deserve careful evaluation, starting from their effective figurative essentiality.

Fabrizio Agnello. (2023). La memoria fotografica dell’architettura. Restituzioni prospettiche e ricostruzioni. Milano: FrancoAngeli.

Laura Carlevaris — Sun, 31 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0000

At first glance it looks like a book –another one!– on perspective restitution. But the contents –finally– are very different. Before focusing on the merits of this new contribution, it is important to point out that the main topic, presented in the subtitle (perspective restitution and ensuing reconstructions) could in fact appear to have already been extensively exploited as well as prevalently didactic in nature. But anyone who leafs through this publication will immediately grasp the intense creativity of a truly innovative approach to an issue rooted in history, but tackled in an absolutely contemporary manner.

Riccardo Migliari, Marco Fasolo. (2022). Prospettiva. Teoria e applicazioni. Milano: Hoepli

Agostino De Rosa — Sun, 31 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0000

I believe that Riccardo Migliari’s first thoughts about writing a monographic volume devoted to the ‘practice’ of perspective go back to more than ten years ago, when, while we were both attending a PRIN meeting in Turin, during an evening stroll along the Po River, he confessed to me that he had in mind an editorial project for the near future: that of wanting to devote himself, once his university commitments were over, to the writing of a monographic text devoted to this method of representation, free from academic constraints and capable of extending the study of its applications, even the more heterodox ones (such as anamorphosis or solid perspective) to other figurative practices, bordering and seemingly extraneous to architectural practices de jure.

Richard Bösel, Antonio Camassa, Giovanna Spadafora. (a cura di). (2023). Andrea Pozzo. Teoria e prassi nel progetto architettonico della chiesa di Sant’Ignazio a Roma. Roma: Artemide.

Marco Fasolo — Sun, 31 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0000

In Andrea Pozzo. Teoria e prassi nel progetto architettonico della chiesa di Sant’Ignazio a Roma, the editors –Richard Bösel, Antonio Camassa, and Giovanna Spadafora– collect sixteen contributions outlining the multifaceted figure of Andrea Pozzo, with particular attention on his work in the church dedicated to Saint Ignatius, the founder of the Society of Jesus. Andrea Pozzo dedicated his working life to painting, art, architecture, scenography, perspective, and the development of a treatise that collects his knowledge of these activities. The activities are all permeated by his deep faith dictated by his clerical status as a Jesuit lay brother. [read more]

Ilaria Trizio — Sun, 31 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0000

Although Christiana Maiorano’s book can be considered a monographic work entirely dedicated to a specific case study, it is part of a broader research framework related to the knowledge of the architectural, cultural and typological features of the Apulian cities and territory, on which the research group of the Department of Architecture, Construction and Design (ArCoD) of the Politecnico di Bari, to which the author belongs, has been working for a long time.

Nexus 2023. Relationships Between Architecture and Mathematics

Vincenzo Cirillo — Sun, 31 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0000

From 12 to 15 June 2023, the castello del Valentino, an UNESCO World Heritage Site and the elegant venue of the Department of Architecture and Design (DAD) of the Politecnico di Torino, together with the prestigious independent publisher of books on architecture and mathematics Kim Williams books, hosted the fourteenth edition of the international and interdisciplinary conference entitled Nexus 2023: Relationships Between Architecture and Mathematics. After the Covid-19 pandemic, which in 2020 precluded the conference from being held in presence in Kaiserlautern (Germany), 2023 represented a return to
normality by allowing scholars and young researchers to meet again in presence and engage in exchanges that could fuel scientific debate and stimulate new ideas and collaborations for future research. [read more]

Jean François Niceron and Emmanuel Maignan. Two Minims, between Science and Faith. Deceptive fruits of an ‘artificial magic’

Domenico Mediati — Sun, 31 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0000

Deception and mathematical rigor: two seemingly antithetical dimensions. Yet sometimes oxymorons are reconciled. This is the subtext of the exhibition Jean François Niceron and Emmanuel Maignan. Two Minims, between Science and Faith, curated by Alessio Bortot, Agostino De Rosa and Imago rerum, which opened on October 7, 2023, at the shrine of St. Francesco di Paola [1]. The exhibition traces the studies carried out by the two French Minims in the 17th century between the convent of SS. Trinità dei Monti in Rome and the Mother House of the Minims in place Royale (now place des Vosges) in Paris, which was almost destroyed in the late 19^th and early 20^th centuries. [read more]

REAACH-ID 2023 - REpresentation Advances And Challenges. AI-XR Connections

Barbara Messina, Andrea di Filippo — Sun, 31 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0000

The fourth edition of the REAACH-ID symposium, coordinated by Andrea Giordano (University of Padua), Roberta Spallone (Politecnico di Torino) and Michele Russo (Sapienza Università di Roma), was held in telematic mode from 10 to 11 October 2023 (fig. 1). Resuming the debate addressed in previous edi- tions, on the challenges that the new digital methods offer to experts and scholars in the field of representation, the event aimed to focus attention on the possibility of connecting ‘extended” reality (XR) technologies –which includes augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR) and mixed reality (MR)– with the disciplines that employ artificial intelligence (AI). In this sense, the call proposed an exposure, in terms of applications and experimentation, to the worlds of tangible and intangible cultural heritage, architectural, environmental, infrastructural and product design, and education, as a place of higher education as well as a tool for educational enhancement.

UID2023. TRANSITIONS. Cross Modulate Develop. 44th International Conference of Representation Disciplines Teachers

Paola Raffa — Sun, 31 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0000

The 44^th International Conference of Representation Disciplines Teachers, Congress of Unione Italiana per il Disegno, opened in the Sala delle Capriate of Palazzo Steri, seat of the rectorate of the University of Palermo. The institutional greetings preceded the celebrations of the awarding of “Benemerite alla memoria” to Margherita De Simone and Rosalia La Franca, founders of the Palermo ‘drawing school’, who contributed to the transition of the disciplines of Drawing from the ‘limit of geometric instrument’ towards representation of space in its physical and conceptual narrative’. We remember the Seminari di Primavera, organized in Palermo in which innovative representative procedures were tested for drawing as a language of sharing and methodologies for developing new research practices.

The Present of Architectural Drawing. Le dessin est mort, vive le dessin!

Paolo Belardi, Massimiliano Campi — Sun, 31 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0000

Exactly ten years ago, the Pinksummer gallery in Genoa hosted an exhibition in the Cortile Maggiore of the Palazzo Ducale in which two architects’ collectives, Gruppo A12 and Baukuh, questioned the possible future (or perhaps, more appropriately, the possible futures) of the Ligurian capital. And they did so by proposing projects and solutions that synergistically contaminated representational modes as varied as they were unusual: starting with the image chosen for the communication, namely that same angel, present in the Ribaudo family chapel of the Monumental Cemetery of Staglieno, used by the rock band Joy Division for the cover of its single Love will tear us apart.

Editorial

Francesca Fatta — Sun, 31 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0000

The Present of Architectural Drawing is the theme proposed by Paolo Belardi and Massimiliano Campi for this issue of the journal diségno and welcomed by the Editorial Board for several reasons. The first of these reasons concerns the close relationship between ideation, drawing and design, terms linked by a bond that is both theoretical and concrete; the second relates to the personalities of the two editors, who have always been interested in the themes of drawing projected towards design, exploring its theories and techniques of representation.

The Acts of Drawing: ‘procedere’ and ‘cedere-pro’

Riccardo Florio — Sun, 31 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0000

Procedere

Wanting to start with the meaning of the Italian verb ‘pro-cedere’ (to proceed) in the sense of going forth, of projecting, but above all of moving forward, I would like to turn to the figure of the Greek architect and sculptor Callimachus, the master par excellence of ‘leptótēs’ (‘grace,’ ‘subtlety,’ ‘refinement,’ ‘delicacy’), whom Marcus Vitruvius Pollio (80-15 B.C. ca.), in reference to the myth of the origin of the Corinthian order, indicates as the artist whom the Athenians, for the refinement and delicacy of his art of working in marble, called ‘chatatēxítechnos’ (who ruins art by exhausting it; perfectionist) [Vitruvio, IV.10, p. 373], a term composed of ‘katatēkō’ (‘consume,’ ‘destroy,’ ‘melt,’ ‘exhaust’) and ‘téchnē’ (‘art’), expressing the perfectionist tension of the artist, which leads to the exhaustion of art [Vitruvio, IV.10, p. 429]; Drawing, like the tension of Callimachus’ art, establishes a processuality, according to a syntagmatic and ordinal ritual, that exhausts the architectural design by proceeding toward one of its many possible solutions.

Reading Italian Edition of an Ackerman’s Book: Architettura e disegno. La rappresentazione da Vitruvio a Gehry

Fabrizio Agnello — Sun, 31 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0000

The book, published in 2002 by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology under the title Origins, Imitations, Conventions: Representation in the Visual Arts (fig. 1), is a collection of 12 essays written by Ackerman since 1994.
James S. Ackerman (1919-2017) has been one of the leading scholars of Renaissance architecture in the last century. Disciple of Henri Focillon and fellow student of Richard Krautheimer and Erwin Panofsky, he was a professor at Cambridge and Harvard Universities in the United States. On the occasion of his death, Carlo Olmo wrote of his work: “His history of architecture is in touch with other historiographies, turning even over-studied architectures into examples that help the reader to understand how many keys are needed to prevent reducing the narration of architecture, which Ackerman treats with true passion, to a mere description or a genealogical history.” His works include The Architecture of Michelangelo from 1961 (Italian ed. Einaudi 1968), Palladio from 1966 (Italian ed. Einaudi 1972) and La Villa from 1990 (Italian ed. Einaudi 2013). [read more]

San Rocco is Dead. Long Live San Rocco

Nicolò Ornaghi — Sun, 31 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0000

On Wednesday, June 26, 2019, a farewell event was held at the Triennale, in Milan, for the celebrated architecture magazine San Rocco, which had passed away prematurely –the initial plan was for 20 issues to be published– with the 15th issue dedicated, fittingly, to the theme of ‘Death’.
San Rocco was, at a global level, one of the most successful publishing experiences of the last 20 years in the field of architecture. A magazine printed in 3,000 copies, almost always sold out. A kind of publishing miracle for an independent magazine, produced in Italy and dedicated to the autonomy of architecture, a discipline notoriously in a tragic condition, at least in this country.

Drawing, Scripting, Prompting. A Critical Approach from Architectural Graphics

Ángel J. Fernández-Álvarez, Vicente López-Chao — Sun, 31 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0000

In recent years, architecture has undergone a significant transformation with the introduction of digital tools and techniques. Three prominent techniques in this context are drawing, scripting, and prompting, offering architects novel approaches to the design process. Drawing remains a vital tool for idea exploration and design development. Conversely, scripting and prompting are digital methods that enable a more algorithmic and data-driven design approach. This paper explores the intersection of these techniques and their potential to enhance the design process. By using them together, architects can foster creativity, efficiency, and innovation while allowing more time for conceptual development. The paper analyzes the framework posed by these techniques, including the impact of new digital technologies like generative and algorithmic design, and artificial intelligence. The potential of scripting to automate graphic tasks, such as parametric design and generative drawing, is addressed. Furthermore, the paper delves into the new frontier of prompting and its application in architectural graphics, outlining the competencies architects need to effectively utilize this technology. In conclusion, this paper critically evaluates the current state of architectural graphics, exploring the fusion of traditional and digital methods, and how new technologies can transform the design process.

Imagination: Tools for Describing and Imagining the Contemporary City

Maria Fierro — Sun, 31 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0000

The continuous changes in the city imply a necessary rethinking of the tools –in the field of drawing and representation– to read, interpret and describe urban changes and contingent conditions in order to imagine possible futures. The drawing of projective geometry, as well as the hyper-realist tendency of representation, do not turn out to be suitable to return the ‘materials’ of the complex urban assemblage. Therefore, the present contribution aims to investigate the potential of two precise tools, the diagram and the collage. They are well established tools in the disciplinary sphere because they are elastic devices of knowledge and imagination. A theoretical-practical exploration is proposed that traces the origins, evolutions and drifts to contemporary experiments that, while fixing a precise image, refer to forms of imagination, demonstrating the different potentials of these tools.
The diagram reducing and the collage assembling, have been protagonists of radical imaginaries and investigations of reality; it is no coincidence that the members of Team X, as well as the Radicals have used both tools producing a legacy of thought picked up by the architect of complexity, Koolhaas (and the generation of his students). A matrix that breaks into the age of figurative realism today and that, with digital tools, opens up a possible new phase of thinking to build complex maps and eclectic looks.

The Synthetic Hand. Design Research Through Hand Drawing

Eliana Martinelli — Sun, 31 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0000

Starting from Henri Focillon’s famous essay Eloge de la main [1939] and, more recently, Tim Ingold’s book Making: Anthropology, Archaeology, Art and Architecture [2013], with the support of philosophical and anthropological considerations, the paper aims to investigate the present relevance of hand drawing, not as a mere method of representation but more properly as a method of design. The argument focuses, in the first instance, on three questions of correspondence: the hand as action and knowledge; the hand as expression and language; and the hand as a synthesis of architectural making. The aim is to demonstrate how research on and of the project is directly influenced by research on drawing, taking as case studies three master theses in architectural and urban design carried out from 2019 to 2023 at the Department of Architecture, University of Florence, through hand drawing, both in the investigation and restitution phases. The project is here intended as the result of a sequence of choices oriented toward the interpretation of places. Hand drawing has the characteristic of being able to reflect and, at the same time, control this process, according to continuous learning, always being aware of the real facts.

The Amnesia of Formal Composition

Chiara Simoncini — Sun, 31 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0000

If drawing has always been a tool for expressing the ideational design process, with a strenuous search for synthesis aimed at accelerating the necessary times facilitated by digital introduction, the integrated elaboration capacity of the idea has increasingly been lost. This loss has given rise to partially sterile hypotheses devoid of that world of forms and the search for form, which constitute true architectural and spatial projects. Aldo Rossi’s drawings come to mind, where a coffee maker could become, as we would say today, an essential object in the domestic ritual, a house, but also a tower, a viewpoint, or even part of what he himself called ‘domestic theater’, where pure forms could combine to create, with dimensions not coinciding with reality, simple objects of common use that could become significant elements of interior spaces. We have thus reduced ourselves to no longer knowing how to compose but to seek sophisticated elaborations of volumes that fall into a love for complication rather than a simplification that contemporary reality requires. But if the digital world can ‘bend’ to ideative will, why can’t we integrate it instead of replacing it with what is effectively the project, understood as a process of investigation?

Every image created by Massimo Scolari, be it the representation of a volume, a space, an idea or a feeling, or even just the outcome of a state of mind produced by his imagination, is like a door thrown wide open on his mind. A door always bringing forth fascinating descriptions, generated by engaging adventures of thought. [read more]
