As architects, we have the advantage of being able to communicate through drawing and, what is more, to embed messages into the architectural proposal. These can exert additional influence on built space and on its users when the design becomes an object. The messages take shape through the superposition of the data inherent to each element: from the information conveyed through the type of drawn piece and its manner of representation to the information conveyed through the proposed colours, materials, systems, etc. The book discusses the coherent totality of information, supported or not by writing or speech, which constitutes an architectural discourse that at the same time emphasizes the responsibility of being fully aware of the message that is conveyed.
