Resumo:
The paper investigates the possibility of studying architecture through its representation, more specifically through the drawing, as a type of reduction, physical and symbolic, recognizing the particularity of the profession and with the purpose to explore the idiosyncrasies of creative architects. Of the many ways that representation can be understood, seeing it as a virtual para-reality is what best allows us, in parallel with the study of the buildings themselves, to understand the architect’s poetics.
