Abstract

As a creative reasoning, design is turning into something different from what we are used to, in a new logic that leads it, in the first place, to ensure environmental balance. Drawing has also changed, to the point that its demise, if not its death, has been explicitly mentioned. Rather, it seems to us that, from a pure architectural communication tool, drawing should be brought back to the role of a privileged instrument of design reflection, thus opening a season in which the project, also thanks to its digitization, the diffusion of BIM and the introduction of artificial intelligence, can be reconfigured as a simulation of construction work, if not as a form of punctual graphic deconstruction of architecture finally aimed at its construction.
