ABSTRACT

In today’s understanding, architectural drawing projects an image of likeness. Such representation renounces a dialogue with the humanities and becomes a narcissistic self-reection of the visual world, projecting a xed image rather than an image-of-becoming. The dominance of the image as the only legitimate way to generate design ideas should be challenged by undermining the notion that architectural drawing is a portrayal of likeness, restoring its full potential to represent a ‘hallowed conguration’ which entails an iconic representation of presence.1
