Less Talk More Action: Conscious Shifts in Architectural Education

3D Exquisite Corpse: Drawing as a Thinking Tool

Fall Conference Proceedings

Author(s): Belen Butragueno, Mariasun Salgado & Javier Francisco Raposo

Undoubtedly, drawing has played a fundamental role on the most radical experiments in the history of architecture. However, the understanding of drawing as a mere representative tool has seriously damaged its relevance in the last years. In addition, the discipline of architecture has dramatically changed with the irruption of new computational technologies, leading to a progressive disappearance of the “traditional” drawing from the curriculum of many Schools of Architecture. From our perspective, the drawing provides more than the sole representation and cannot be enclosed in a single technique. It promotes creativity, expressiveness and a critical view of reality. It is an essential tool of expression, creation, and architectural criticism, that substantiates the architectural pedagogy.
