This exhibition features a diverse selection of contemporary architectural drawings, highlighting the creative processes behind new architecture.
It highlights the importance of architectural drawing, visually translates the complexity of its creators’ ideas, facilitates the understanding that will ultimately transform an image into a livable space on a massive scale, and represents either a break with or a consolidation of diverse values in a society—through forms, colors, and textures—until it reaches principles such as morality, justice, the common good, the demonstration of political or economic power, and even the capacity for human resilience in the face of history.
