• Resumen

  • Outstanding draughtsmen have drawn unique visions of great buildings projected by others. Encouraged by their example, at the Escuela Politécnica Superior, we have consolidated a satisfactory exercise in which second-year students must face a similar task: to plan and develop a freely-chosen ambitious personal drawing that expounds the significance of a thoroughly studied architectural model. The goal of this paper is to show some of these unique drawings while highlighting their developmental process, which is both extremely challenging and rewarding for the students, who achieve outstanding levels of graphical ability and architectural interpretation.
