Disegno come narrazione: arte sequenziale e rappresentazione dell’architettura

Drawing as Narration: sequential art and architectural representation In the representation of architecture, the narrative function of the drawing is increasingly becoming more and more important, both in supporting the architect in the maturation phases of the design process and in its communication. The correlation between architectural representation and sequential art has always been very close. Already 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 today's use of sequential drawing in architecture is widely spread in an attempt to reach an ever-wider audience, this need is reflected in situations and contexts of the recent past that are far from the present. In architecture, one of the reasons for the increasingly widespread use of the drawing tool as a narration can certainly be identified in the efficacy resulting from the sequential juxtaposition of a series of images appropriately predisposed: the visual message that emerges from the 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
