Description
Summary:[EN] The Colombian architect German Samper Gnecco internalized the methodology of drawing motivated by his meeting with Le Corbusier in the atelier of 35 rue de Sèvres in Paris. That tutelage was a crucial moment in his training as an architect, since from then on he would never abandon what would become one of his most important assets: freehand drawing. But who is German Samper?, what has been the meaning of drawing for this architect?, how did he learn from drawing?, and what did German Samper want to seek and express with his drawings? In this article we try to answer these questions and we intend to recover the recognition of his graphic contributions dispersed in the collective memory and the review of this fundamental architect of Colombian origin who confirmed through drawing, to represent, recreate and transform the architectural reality; by means of a very personal way, through a unique discourse.
