Sage Journals: Discover world-class research

Abstract

This paper results from interdisciplinary research about dynamic and transformational processes of conception, representation and spatial construction in Architecture. This work systematizes the common bases of the diagram offered by disciplines that deal with processes of representation, such as Cognitive Science, Logical Semiotics, Mathematical Logic and Philosophy, and of spatial investigation such as Topology and Architecture. It outlines operative components (trans, inter and intra-diagrams) and the diagram's phenomenological variables (thought, space, time) and establishes mutual relationships between it, digital media and Architecture, with the intent of developing the understanding of the digital diagram as an enhanced way of placing information in time and space.
