Abstract

“Drawing is a pleasure. The pleasure of drawing means to be in a certain place enjoying of magic moments…” This quote sums up the topic of the conversation with the prolific architect Alejandro Beltramone. Reflecting on his training at the Faculty of Architecture, Planning and Design, he highlights the teaching contribution of Professor Japo Schira who was always drawing together with his students. It is this contribution that has become the basis of a fundamental principle when dealing with registration drawing. Beltramone analyzes not only his subsequent personal experience on this type of practice but also the unique features and adjustments of graphic records carried out since 1987 in order to shape the records of a traveler by means of different types of media. He deals with the specificity of an in situ drawing as well as the reading and portraying of magic places tours (Florence, Cuzco, Lisbon, Valparaíso). Thus, he synthesizes the acquired and the transmitted along with the meaningful experiences sketched by Le Corbusier as a traveler. He concludes with findings concerning students’ acquisition and implementation of a practice in which “…motivation is more important than talent…”
