LA RAPPRESENTAZIONE NEL PROGETTO DI ARCHITETTURA | 1990 | M. DELL'AQUILA

La rappresentazione nel progetto di architettura, by Mariella Dell’Aquila (2003), offers a focused exploration of the expressive and instrumental role of architectural representation in the design process. In a compact volume (~116 pages), the author investigates how different graphic techniques—plan, section, elevation, axonometry, perspective—are not just descriptive tools, but active components that shape design thinking. Grounded in both analytical reflection and practical experimentation, the text emphasizes the interpretative nature of representation, from urban-scale mapping to architectural detail. It argues convincingly that representation mediates between analysis and creativity, serving as a fundamental instrument in teaching, project development, and critical thinking within architecture.
