Comics as a Means of Architecture Representation
Abstract Comic strips are establishing themselves as a graphic skill to represent architecture. The narrative function of the drawing finds effective application both in supporting the architect in the design process and in its communication. The relationship between architectural drawing and sequential art has always been very strong. Le Corbusier, in his famous “Lettre to Madame Meyer” in 1925, draws up a narrative of the Villa Meyer project through sequential images with marginalized captions. Although the use of sequential drawing in architecture is widespread and well established, its effectiveness as a tool to communicate architecture allows today to reach an ever wider audience. In the representation of architecture, one of the reasons for using the sequential drawing tool can be identified in the efficacy derived from the serial juxtaposition of appropriately prepared images: the message that emerges from a narrative structure surpasses that inherited in each single frame. Such characteristic finds obvious analogies in different languages, such as movie language, textual language, and design language.
