LA FIGURAZIONE IN ARCHITETTURA 1981 | JACQUES GUILLERME

La figurazione in architettura (1981) by Jacques Guillerme is a comprehensive exploration of architectural representation, investigating how figurative elements—drawings, models, sculptural forms—shape design processes. Set against the theoretical debates of the late 20th century, the work examines the use of analytical drawing, diagrammatic representation, and figurative symbolism in conveying spatial meaning. Guillerme discusses how representation serves as a critical tool in creative thinking, aligning visual thinking with architectural concept formation. The study bridges the gap between abstract geometry and lived experience, demonstrating how representation techniques influence form generation, material expression, and the communication of architectural ideas.
