The author of that book  \ncertainly did not consider architectural drawing impure, but the distinction proposed meant that he considered it to be a non-autonomous tool, since its role was to display the elements of a building in their relationship with the whole. In the art of construction, however, limiting drawing to the mere illustration of design solutions isnot possible, as is shown, in a positive contradiction, by the drawings produced by Maurizio Sacripanti’s studio in which (and here I allow myself an autobiographical note) I worked for a few years when I was a student. For this reason, architectural drawing is also a tool, but first of all it is the space in which the idea of architecture reveals itself to its author and to those who will frequent the architecture that the drawing defines. Drawing makes us discover not only what appears to our eyes, but at the same time reveals to us what is unknown, indefinite, transitory.  \nArticolo a invito per inquadramento del tema del focus, non sottoposto a revisione anonima, pubblicato con responsabilità della direzione.  \n[https://doi.org/10.26375/disegno.6.2020.05](https://doi.org/10.26375/disegno.6.2020.05) 27  ISSN 2533-2899   \n6 / 2020  \nContinuing this premise, architectural drawing has for mean evident artistic dimension, which takes on different gradations according to the type of graphic expression. This dimension is greatest in the impressions from real life, translated into extraordinary images, of Le Corbusier; of Louis Khan, in particular the drawings made with wax crayons including a few masterpieces regarding the Acropolis of Athens; of John Ruskin, especially the studies of the Gothic capitals ofthe Doge’s Palace in Venice.The same artistic intensity characterizes the famous sketches by Erich Mendelsohn, with their enthralling spatial dynamics; by Àlvaro Siza, with their rapid and concise strokes; by Giovanni Michelucci, poetic, neo-expressionist tangled lines. In project documents, such as plans, sections, details, the artistic content is moderate, increasing with the perspective or axonometric views, recalling, in this case, those of Alberto Sartoris. The value of architectural drawings as works of art again reaches its maximum level with theoretical drawings, that is, those visions that propose new thematic dimensions nourished by various forms of utopias and by an idealizing intent, as in the tables of Antonio Sant’Elia.To avoid interpretative misunderstandings, it should be made clear that theoretical drawing cannot be didactic or simply narrative. It is always complex, hermetic, rational but at the same time imaginary, at times including irrational elements, in other cases stratified in several thematic, even contrasting, levels. Drawn architecture, as it has been called since the 1970s, which in my opinion is only this last graphic exercise among those I have mentioned, is thus a scientific and at the same time poetic drawing, a drawing that tends towards a formal absoluteness associated with the logicality of a theorem. Finally, it cannot be forgotten that even surveys, as is made evident in Leon","cbCairZRpVuH7fUg","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairZRpVuH7fUg","pdf",1216409,"English","# Random and Provisional Notes on Drawing\n## Architectural drawing as a tool and space for ideas\n## Artistic intensity across graphic expression\n## Theoretical drawing: complex, rational yet imaginary\n## Drawing as indispensable for understanding reality","[{\"question\":\"How does the text define architectural drawing’s role beyond illustration?\",\"answer\":\"Architectural drawing is not merely an illustration of design solutions.
