Um estudo exploratório para proposta de análise gráfica de croquis urbanos

Abstract

This dissertation investigates the methodological gap in the graphic analysis of urban sketches shared on social media, artifacts that operate at the intersection of manual recording and digital photographic mediation. It starts from the premise that artistic praxis prioritizes aesthetic experience at the expense of systemic self-criticism, thus requiring an external instrument for its analytical validation. The general objective consisted of developing an instrumental taxonomy aimed at researchers for the compositional, stylistic, and semiotic decoding of these hybrid representations. The methodology, of a qualitative-instrumental nature, underwent an iterative cycle of five stages: theoretical integration, prototyping (v1.0), documentary diagnosis, validation by an expert panel, and operational verification. As a result, specialized criticism allowed for the refinement of the initial prototype’s redundancies, consolidating the Analysis Sheet v2.0. This instrument is structured under the architecture of the Semiotic Triad, articulating: the syntactic dimension (morphology and style based on Dondis and Ashwin); the semantic dimension (meaning and representational fidelity based on Joly); and the pragmatic dimension (strategy and communicative function based on Twyman). It is concluded that the study provides the field of Graphic Memory with a robust theoretical-methodological framework capable of converting subjective records into systematic data on landscape and visual identity.
