Representação Como Operação

Abstract

The use of digital means for the production of architectural representation - mainly from the 1990s - allows us
to reposition the function of drawing by hand. As the painting acquires a new interest with the statement of the
photograph, the drawing by hand appears in new level of interest in the architectural production after the diffusion
of the computer graphics. The argument is based on Daniel Libeskind’s analysis of drawings and diagrams
for the Berlin Jewish Museum, as well as establishing, as a point of reference, the Cooper Union production,
especially focused on the The nine square problem, The cube problem and The Juan Gris problem.

Key-words: Diagram; Representation; Operation.
