Architecture and Interior Design Education stresses the primacy of visual and accurate representation.

The latter could lead to new ways to explore alternative methods of thinking about design, more contemplative and even ‘traditional,’ some of which may embed new stories of cultural and contextual elements. Are there alternate ways of representation from different, unexplored traditions, cultures, and disciplines that are not considered, or deliberately excluded, by a still predominant Modernist conditioning?
