Abstract

In design process, drawing has always preceded the construction phase. The act of drawing, based on basic geometric elements such as lines, curves, surfaces and solid, allows to organize one’s ideas, manage resources and predict results.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Harold Scott MacDonald Coxeter, (1907–2003) was a British-born Canadian geometer. He was most noted for his work on regular polytopes and higher-dimensional geometries. He was a champion of the classical approach to geometry, in a period when the tendency was to approach geometry more and more via algebra.
