Abstract

Technological advances since the turn of the century have transformed the way we live. The graphic representation of architecture has not been exempted from this. Graphics, derived from the global concept of art, needs a support to materialize: the canvas. Even in this digital era, the canvas cannot be dispensed with. That is why the title emphasizes the canvas; canvases do not cease to be the material support; they only change from the tangible to the intangible. In this way, the manual graphic expression is invariable of its support and remains as a means of communication. This degree work compiles the graphic information of three of César Piedra’s projects: the Central Bank complex, the Banco del Austro building and César Piedra’s personal residence, the Piedra house. It aims to collect the archive of these works up to the pre-project stage, in order to take one of them to generate a digital reconstruction using digital illustration software that mimics traditional drawing media. The methodological process is divided into large sections: bibliographic review and establishment of concepts, collection and registration of the graphic archive, analysis and reconstruction of one of the projects. All this exploration hopes to conclude that the manual graphic expression is an effective communication tool, which mutates with technological advances. Finally, the freehand digital drawing as an alternative for the conservation of real estate information.
