This lecture explores the theoretical aspects of drawing, focusing on visual representation and the use of drawing as a tool for theoretical investigation. It delves into examples related to the construction of visual representations, the relationship between schematic and model representations, and the systematic comparison of theoretical models. The lecture also discusses the importance of scale, the complementarity of different types of representations, and the interpretation of drawings in understanding theoretical propositions. Through various examples, the instructor illustrates how drawings can reveal different spatial scales, organizational principles, and relationships within models, emphasizing the significance of drawing as a theoretical tool.
