• Resumen

  • This paper discusses the role of Drawing in Architectural Research and attempts to show it as a valuable instrument. First we will fix the concept of Research referred to the Discipline and consider the reasons for using Drawing as a specific language of Architecture and its consequent implications. At this point we will take a look at the scope of researches where the use of Drawing is a matter of importance. History, Reconstitution, Determination, Composition, normative, ideological or constructive proposition etc. are all involved with more or less intensity, depending on the aims of the research. From the vision of this scene, it is possible to deduce that in any research in which the architectural form is involved, the use of Drawing is not only advisable, but indispensable, as the main element of methodological systematization and as a formal expression of the conclusions.
