Open Access
|May 2020

Abstract

Architecture and urban planning, classified as technical disciplines of science, in their records of creative works, also maintain representations of architectural ideas in the form of drawings, sketches or paintings. Ancillary to national heritage collections, they are an extensive source of information, which links the autonomous vision of the creator with the form outline, thus, creating an external context of such a form. Original architectural notations are part of the documentation of designs that were later executed and those that failed to be executed at all; furthermore, they confirm the high quality of expertise and the individual approach typical of leading professionals in the field across the world. The inspiration drawn from the 20th and 21st century facilities, translated into the language of artistic expression, proves the interdisciplinarity of the architectural profession and its communicative and educational assets shall be subject to particular protection and shall be displayed in order to elevate the rank of their meaning in the design process as well as in the collection of national, cultural heritage.
