ABSTRACT
The study by drawing uses several means and processes of abstraction, through the modeling by the line and by the stain, manipulation and production of the image, providing a critical analysis of the information obtained in the sense of understanding the human body, central element in the architecture project. The scale of the body from the perspective of the Austrian artist and architect Friedensreich Hundertwasser is the starting point for this investigation about the role of Drawing on the understanding of the Human Being and from this one with the world around him. We pretend to underline the learning process through Drawing, underlining the relevance, vitality and permanence of this way of thinking and acting in the architects’ training.
Particular attention is given to the typology of the line and the structuring and appropriation of the form. The gesture, also seen in the sketching as a process of capturing the essence, in an attitude of critical analysis, of understanding, has within it unique potentialities, such as its operative capacities of acquisition and communication of information.
With this research project we intend to develop a reflection on the human body, its dimensions, forces, biomechanics, using the use of various technical and graphic expressions. Undoubtedly, drawing as a visual and organizational means of communication also stimulates the user as a tool and as an irreplaceable means of personal expression. Drawing becomes thus a language and a support of critical analysis of the human body.
