Abstract

Starting from the basis that it is too restrictive to speak about a single type of drawing, this paper focuses its interest on hand drawing, which allows us to study and question the visible and the invisible. The aim is to explore the sketch timelessness through the analysis of a series of drawings from different architects and moments in time, which have given rise to architectures that are, indeed, framed within the time of their creation. Some sketches of Sverre Fehn that are compared with others of Mario Cucinella and some sketches of Lina Bobardi that are compared with others of Pierre Thibault are of invaluable help to achieve this purpose.
