Drawing or Design? Contribution to the definition of designology

Providência, Francisco

Resumo:

As far as transforming data into information and information into knowledge are concerned, design adopts a relevant mediator role. Data lack interpretation in order to ascend to information. Interpreting means to take control over data, understand them and, consequently, extrapolate new knowledge. Drawing is interpreting. Whenever drawing overcomes representational dimension to a projectual one, there will be knowledge. Actually, representational drawing does not exist without interpretation; choosing what to draw by selecting a tiny part of what we observe, is a good example. Therefore, it is the knowledge 

of a thoughtful practice on drawing that I would like to convene here.
