Places of Memory
The Conceptual Drawing and Its Symbolical Structure
In the beginning was the Drawing. During the process of architectural graphic ideation, the atmospheres and the meaning that the work transmits once materialized are revealed. When it comes to memorials and museums dedicated to the tragedies of the last century – the objects of this analysis – their symbolical structure is articulated within the first traces. The symbol is a type of language and the narrative that is, therefore, graphically constructed, is intelligible, although it leaves the receivers some degree of freedom for their final interpretation. The abstract architectural form does not obey the laws of a narrative that has a closed structure of significance. As Croce (1967) would affirm, its ability to convey emotions is directly proportional to its degree of freedom and its symbolism and it doesn’t correspond to the apprehension of a motionless concept. In the conceptual drawing, the idea as an image is a carrier of symbolic potential, a horizon of very general and abstract ideas that is part of the operational gestures. The images are linked to the places that are revealed as the generating powers of the projects in these first strokes.
