DRAWING and IMAGE. Reflections on the significance and DESIGN culture
Marco Antonio Sandoval
Abstract
This book analyzes and reflects on the importance of drawing and image in the field of design. From an interdisciplinary perspective, it highlights its role in representation and creativity in human interaction; emphasizes how drawing has been a fundamental epistemic practice over time, playing significant roles in society. In the text, various topics are discussed, such as the study of graphic representation as a cultural and social manifestation that is intertwined with identity and collective vision. Explores the intrinsic connection between drawing and design; in this regard, it considers the former as a fundamental component in the conceptualization and ideation process, functioning as a bridge between the concept and visual materialization.
