ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on the rhizomatic path from which relevant architectural design can be contrived. It includes vistas and secret gardens. The chapter considers the order in which architectural drawings were made, first, dreamed images, second, drawings, and, finally, words. The drawings were done following the dreamed images, and then the narrative was written to emulate the drawings. Dreaming architecture is like a gourmet craft that, when carefully translated into constructed artifacts, promotes a beatific life. Dreams are the way in which myths are created. The macaronic art is employed as a playful technique to access daydreaming to ascertain the power of architectural images. In dreams, visual images are dominant and a monstrous semiosis takes place. Daydreaming is the only proper way to read drawings of architecture. To imagine is a crucial activity in architecture. It takes imagination to inhabit a building as well as to design it.
