Toward a Resistant Drawing

Abstract

The text reflects on the five years of activity of the IMG journal, highlighting its role as a bulwark against the fragmentation of studies and the ambiguity of research focuses in the field of Drawing. In an academic context increasingly driven by quantity rather than quality, spaces of "resistance" emerge where technical sensitivity and critical vision merge into a balanced and innovative image of the future. The impact of new technologies, such as point clouds, algorithms, and artificial intelligence, is analysed, as they risk overshadowing traditional methods of architectural representation, which are essential for a critical understanding of architecture. Despite the trend towards hyper-productivity, solid research persists, integrating innovative tools with a rigorous methodological approach. The IMG journal stands out for its ability to combine past, present, and future, fostering interdisciplinary dialogue and critical reflection on representation, while maintaining a balance between technological innovation and cultural depth.
