Abstract
Concepts from contemporary critical analysis hold that all thought is inseparable from its medium of formulation and expression. When applied to design, such concepts argue that study drawings are active agents rather than passive records; their graphic processes provide the means to generate information within the design task. This paper analyzes characteristic graphic processes from Le Corbusier's work on the chapel at Ronchamp and from recent study drawings by five contemporary architects. This article has been excerpted from a forthcoming book on study drawings, a project supported in part by a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts.
