THE ROLE AND IMPORTANCE OF A DRAWING IN ARCHITECTURE

Osrednja tema diplomskega dela je bila risba kot temeljno sredstvo likovnega izražanja. Obravnavali smo vzgibe za njen pojav, njene splošne tehnične in izrazne značilnosti, jo klasificirali in opredelili njene glavne funkcije ter skozi kronološki pregled ugotovili njeno dvojno naravo, ki se giblje med avtonomnim in pomožnim delom. S stališča slednjega smo jo obravnavali v optiki arhitekturnega oblikovanja, kjer smo izpostavili njeno delovaje pod specifičnimi zahtevami in potrebami stroke. Ugotovili smo, da risba na področju arhitekture (arhitekturna risba) lahko nastopa kot tvorno oblikovalsko orodje (skica), prezentacijski medij (prezentacijska risba) in kot nosilec informacij za izvedbo objektov (tehnična risba), pri tem pa je njena prisotnost močno podvržena digitalnim orodjem in z njimi povezanimi načini prezentacije. Zaznali smo pomembne razlike med uporabo risbe v preteklosti in v sodobni arhitekturni praksi. Vse zahtevnejši načini gradnje sicer zahtevajo napredne pristope tudi v predstavitvenih metodah, a se z zapostavljanjem ročne risbe izgublja poglavitna kvaliteta ustvarjanja, avtorski izraz, zato je vzporedna uporaba digitalnih in analognih tehnik ključna za celovit pristop k arhitekturnim problemom. Preko izpostavljenih primerov arhitekturne skice smo njeno raziskovanje razširili na lastno izražanje, v širokem namenskem razponu, kjer se je izkazala za izjemnega mediatorja med mislijo in roko, ki služi za beleženje stvarnega, nestvarnega in sveta vmes.The main theme of the diploma thesis is the drawing as a fundamental medium of fine art expression. Through the thesis the reasons of its appearance and its general technical and expressive features are discussed and the drawing is also classified. Furthermore, its main functions are defined and its double nature that ranges from autonomous to auxiliary work is chronologically determined. From the point of view of the latter it has been treated through the perspective of architectural designing where its function within specific requirements and needs of the experts has been highlighted. It has been determined that the drawing in the field of architecture (architectural drawing) can appear as a productive designing tool (sketch), as an instrument of presentation (presentational drawing), and as an information media for the execution of projects (technical drawing), where its presence is strongly submitted to digital tools and related means of presentation. Significant differences in the use of drawing in the past and present architectural practice have been perceived. More and more challenging approaches of construction definitely demand modern approaches in presentations, yet the neglecting of hand-drawn drawing leads to the loss of basic quality of creating, the authors expression, therefore, the parallel use of digital and analogical techniques is crucial for a complete approach to architectural problems. Through the exposed examples of architectural sketches the research has been expanded to personal expression in a wide range of purposes, where the sketch has proved to be an excellent mediator between the mind and the hand serving as means to depict both material and immaterial world including the one in between
