Abstract: When drawing a new urban plan, architects and town planners try, with sufficient skill, to represent what exists and what the new designed reality will be like. They are forced to disregard what they feel to be important in the representation and specify what is and what is not meaningful in the designed planning and how it will be shown on the drawing. If a plan specifies this capacity for abstraction and synthesis of the urban planning task it is without a doubt the floor plan drawing. This drawing simultaneously materializes the act of designing the city and an exercise in communication and graphic language that explains, and at the same time expresses, what has been designed. To manage to produce images capable of clearly communicating the results of the urban design process thus becomes a fundamental task of the planner.
