Once generated the “proto-document”, the student interprets
different graphic levels and associate them to different conceptual
layers that the contemporary architectural project takes (perimeter,
energy, furniture, structure, public-private). So the proceed is that
the student extracts and interprets the graphic information that
himself, or other mate has produced previously, in different degrees of
information concepts that will show in different graphic documents.
After making all the graphic-conceptual layers, all documents are
joined up into a final presentation. That allows us to see at once all
situations detected. Thanks to this step and for the first time in the
methodology followed, the student starts to identify possible
transversals routes. The correspondences or the differences between the
various graphic documents generated will be used at a larger stage
The work by layers of different graphic readouts allows treating
abstractly information of documents that initially were illegible, and
at the same time realize and emphasize different architectural needs
expressed through different graphic layers. The use of different layers
or families of graphics readings, allows reaching into a complexity of
information levels.
