TRIBELON Journal of Drawing and Representation of Architecture, Landscape and Environment is the official journal of Architectural Studies, Identity, Memory, and Digitisation of Cultural Heritage within the Drawing area at the University of Florence. It offers a critical space of debate for the different paths of enquiry within the national and international panorama of science of representation. It aims at bringing together care for contemporaneity, a dialogue with tradition, and attention to possible futures.
The Journal intends to promote a close engagement with theoretical perspectives in the science of drawing, architectural survey, and representation, while maintaining and enhancing the specificity of the applied approach to drawing and digital database issues in visual communication.

Current IssueVol 2, No 4 (2025): To Shape: Order and Measure

Published December 23, 2025

Issue Description

The evolution of science involves a continual shift in perspectives concerning the relationship between humankind and the environment. When considering the changing architectural styles and movements that have accompanied this progress, it is entirely natural to discern a constant recapitulation of models and proportions. The reinvention or rewriting of forms, languages and dimensional structures gives rise to alterations that act upon the pre-existing order; each time a model is reformulated, a new interpretative angle opens up, the perspective from which it is observed is altered, and with it the very way in which the entire system is understood. From these variations emerge new cultural landscapes, new readings of space, and new currents of thought and design.
