This thesis discusses the subject of drawing as a method of architectural study. It investigates the practice of drawing as a catalyst for knowledge and an integrated tool to form and expand an architect\'s repertoire. The research object elected is an inventory, regarding the architecture of Vale do Paraiba, made by architect Antonio Luis Dias de Andrade (1948-1997), in the 1970s. The object studied consists of 1270 drawings, which are part of the first inventories promoted by CONDEPHAAT, Council for the Defense of Historical, Archeological, Artistic and Tourism. Heritage for the State of Sao Paulo, in order to register the architecture of this state. Within the vast universe of drawing, this study specifically approaches drawings of cognitive purpose. When defining the drawings of Vale do Paraiba developed by Antonio Luiz Dias de Andrade as object of study, we aim at understanding in what ways the drawing was used by this architect as his core method of study. From the analysis of these records, we seek to identify the work methodology used to understand the relationship between the records and the context in which these were produced. We analyze the drawings based on three aspects: 1) the drawing as a graphic record, understanding how and what the constituent elements of this language-information are, which are intrinsic to each drawing (according to Massironi); 2) as a series of drawings, represented by their sets and mappings; 3) the time, place and circumstances in which these drawings were produced. Therefore, we aim at identifying and contextualizing them according to historic time. In the first chapter, we discuss the years of experience of Dias de Andrade in transit between the university and the Council for the Defense of Historical, Archeological, Artistic and Tourism Heritage, until the beginning of his studies in Vale do Paraiba; then we describe the field surveys and their itineraries, and present the criteria used for analyzing these drawings. In the second chapter, we analyze the types of drawings by graphic representation used, noting its constitutive elements and identifying the logic of its use. In the third chapter, the drawings are analyzed according to objects inventoried - from the choice of series of drawings to the representation of certain objects, trying to identify the method used to conduct the studies. In the fourth chapter, we discuss the consequences related to the experience of these studies and the role of drawing in the professional career of Dias de Andrade. (AU) | |
