| Summary: | In the first part of this study we put forward poetic rhyme as a valid metaphor for architectural drawing, as referred to the diverse types of architecture, distant from each other in space and time, which the architect Juan Domingo Santos, a native of Granada in Spain, brings together in his designs. In both, a game is played out, audible in the case of rhyme, visible in the case of drawing. We then go on to plot the initiatory journey of the architect, which is a demonstration of the playing out of this game through different stages: the drawing which reflects its intuitions and symbols; the model which puts them in to play and tests them; and the scale project which sets them out for their presumed implementation. The final result reveals the point of departure: the identity of landscape and heritage existent in all architecture worth the name. |
