ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on the role played by body experience in the drawing and design process, when, at the interface between the physical space and the imaginary space, the act to draw lines opens up a creative potential. A large part of the professional education of landscape architects is sharing with the students a corpus of knowledge inherited by this field of activity. It is necessary to learn by accumulation and reproduction of existing practical and theoretical knowledge that can be used in practice later in the student’s future professional life. The challenge is still to find strategies that facilitate access to the phenomenological body and its unarticulated knowledge so that it can become a creative resource in perception and planning of the environment. The chapter highlights how the unarticulated wordless dialogue that occurs with the phenomenal body during the drawing process can be stimulated in the studio context preliminary to a state of creative flow.
