Abstract
This text address the advantage of incorporating contemporary issues into formal and spatial representation, exploring the issue of who we are drawing with and how we explain the process. Experts in “minor” contents or multispecies theory, among others, advance interpretive clues to sort the results into conceptual frameworks called: ecological entanglements, metaphors of the global, the green dream, the activist role, or what occurs after disruptive events. The naming system can be understood by other disciplines, thus facilitating a crossed conversation. This text is also an incitement for the teaching staff to update references, case studies, frameworks and methods even when teaching early formative stages, in order to produce the best stimuli for those curious minds that join our classrooms each year.
