| description | This essay describes the relationship between drawing and design in the work of Antonio Monestiroli. Precision and essentiality are the hallmarks of his works of architecture, which also governed his ways of drawing, a design tool focused on technical representations, at an urban scale and that of the individual building. Plans, elevations, cross sections, volumetric plan views, collages and scale models were the prevailing ways in which his projects were explored and illustrated, even during the transition from analogue to digital drawing. |
