Abstract: The creation of more meaningful, sensory and ethical buildings might be encouraged by rethinking construction teaching in relation to architectural representation. Among other things, this means questioning the supposed neutral and technical relationship between drawings, particularly working drawings, and buildings. This productive relationship results from the desire for efficiency and certainty, but its current dominance has almost totally extinguished the ability of architects to engage in symbolic, architectural representation. Construction courses are the ideal place to re-introduce some critical thinking about what our drawings and building really represent. © 2009 Taylor & Francis.
