Abstract

Graphics purposeful nature deals with a new reality embodied in the selection of items and the techniques used for each image. This is the reason why map and drawing creation becomes a fundamental of the design process; how an object or space is represented changes the way we understand it and vice versa. Graphic representation enables site transformation, reality analysis and intervention planning. Food Network process –a design for territorial logicsimplied an approach to the use of the different scales involved in food production making it possible to interplay with conventions in order to rethink graphics which, in turn, gave rise to the intervention to be carried out. Each stage of the design process developed a type of graphics that led to the reflection upon not only spaces but also operating systems. Site and project are portrayed from the transcalar graphics perspective.
