• Resumen

  • Based on three case studies of proto-architectures—self-built and immersed in different contexts—and their drawings, this article focuses on architecture as a mediator between the social and the territory. The aim is both to value the quality of these architectures “without architects” and as supplying new clues about the relationship between architecture and context. Drawings are here used both as a transcription of shapes and structures and as hermeneutic procedure which allows us to identify the potencies within the cases. The research is trying to collect signs for a new sensibility in which drawing and building (two actions that pass through the body) function as a gateway to sustainable forms.
