Perez-Gomez begins the reading with his opinion and observation that architectural drawings, models and various representations are considered transcripts and necessary documents of built work, yet "an invisible
perspectival hinge is always at work between these common forms of representation and the world to which they refer." He continues to state that many professional architects seem to view architectural drawing as images that must be clear and unambiguous so as to not provide confusion during the construction phase. While it is important for drawings to be legible and outline the proper construction of a building, it is my opinion that certain levels of understanding of the meaning behind the architecture is lost when drawings must simply be broken down into various scale representations of what will exist and how it is to be built.
