New Interactions Between Fundamentals of Descriptive Geometry and 3D Modeling for Design

The practice of drawing always involves a process of interpretation and analysis, knowledge and synthesis, structured in relation to educational aims and methods involved. In this paper we intend to make some disciplinary remarks on the teaching of “Fundamentals and applications of Descriptive Geometry” for the “Laboratory of Representation of the Project” held at the Degree in Design and visual communication (first year) of the Politecnico di Torino. We feel more and more, both in teaching and in student feedback, the need to rethink contents and to reconfigure practices for the definition of new interactions between Geometry and digital modeling.
