Abstract

The focus of this study is to define and map out design intent using occurrences of practice that are strongly representative of the adoption of chromatic devices intended as instruments capable of identifying and making legible (in previous contributions we talked about amplification of meaning) the conceptual principles that define the foundation of the design process of an architectural project, as well as to keep them explicit in their formal outcomes.
