ABSTRACT
Tools of representation are never neutral. They underlie the conceptual elaboration of architectural projects and the whole process of the generation of form. Prompted by changing computer technologies, contemporary architects sometimes recognise the limitations of tools of ideation. Yet, plans, elevations and sections are ultimately expected to predict with accuracy an intended meaning as it may appear for an embodied subject in built work. Indeed, no alternatives for the generation of meaningful form are seriously considered outside the domain of modern epistemological perspectivism – i.e., the understanding of the project as a ‘picture’.
