From the rough architectural project

The notion of provisional drawing and simplified representation of an idea that is not sham covers the draft, sketch, sketch, rough , study and collection of memories. It is expressed beautifully through the travel diary where travel offers learning how to look through multiple visual studies and an expression on the fly. It is particularly useful for architects who analyze monuments and landscapes, sites and urban planning, heritage and building projects through their initiatory journey in Europe and the East. They then carry out rough 6 that secure the thought and move from a mental image to the physical image. The contemporary term for rough defines the graphic process by which an idea is realized in plastic readable image; by extension, it appoints a model more or less elaborate, as draft or readable outline of a project. The book designed by artists and architects and covers a wide typology of sketchbooks 7  :

• book of drawings or models: learning from the imagination or drawing from observation;
• Book ideas or work: studies, research, documentation;
• intimate book: mood swings, humor notes, personal notes;
• project book or rough  : a project or sketch;
• daily diary or daily sketchbook: daily page, exercise, daily or intellectual peregrinations.

Two tourist stays three place in Europe with a clear preference for Spain (16% of tourist trips abroad) and Italy (11%) 19 while for North Africa, Morocco and Tunisia are in third and fourth place. Now the travel diaries of publishing does not reflect this trend, since it is Morocco which is the favorite theme of travel diary and that becomes the iconic image of the Mediterranean basin; it is true that carries more exotic and picturesque that the reduced Spain, in the edition of the travel book, the path of Saint Jacques de Compostela, a place certainly cultural tourism and pilgrimage; he values ​​the heritage of Romanesque art in France as in Spain.

Retracing the route of pilgrims through France and Galicia and illustrate the steps required of the medieval pilgrim offer some ideas to achieve a fictitious travel diary. To create a live travel blog, then this will transcribe the architectural elements of the churches visited during discovery outings.

The first title is An archaeologist Saudi author Vincent Charpentier and drawn from life by illustrator Marc Lacaze. Paradoxically, few contemporary travel books dedicated to archeology are published, as we will mention only the title , in the sands of Saqqara 27 Catherine Adam, which traces a chronicle of an archaeological dig while providing a sensitive approach to Egypt. Nevertheless, far from the world of publishing, some educational services archaeological museums are involved in the realization of a personalized course of the book the student to discover the collections. For example, Cap Archéo 28 , education center on urban archeology heritage of Bordeaux, offers workshops of archaeological exploration from a documentary investigation, excavation starts simulation, laboratory activities and meetings with researchers, but also an operation Reporters science, archeology. Another initiative Gironde, Louvre Estuary 29 , enrolled in the charter "Adopt heritage", uses the travel diary through its outreach centers at regional heritage: Romanesque architecture of Saintonge, the marsh environment and culture, or poitevine saintongeaise.

The travel diary as an educational tool to raise awareness of heritage

The architecture is part of the curriculum of visual arts, as the travel diary can be the tool of this reflection in the field at architectural discovery outings under national events: eg on the heritage, charters through the "Adopt heritage" or "Adopt a garden" (1998) or the architecture, through the device "architecture in college" (1997) and the education program in architectural and urban heritage "Read his city "(1999) or" Monuments children's games "Monum led operation since 1999. a campaign for architectural quality 30 was launched by the Ministry in March 2003 to improve the living environment built around the label" with the architecture give quality to life "and to promote" understanding of the architectural process, from the definition and control of the project until receipt of it. " Specifications or control specifications is performed by the students before the multimedia presentation of the architectural project as part of the PCSP in vocational school. This project was extended in 2005 by the contest "Reporter Works" 31 proposed by the regional federation of public works to discover all the facets of a project: nature, work in process, utility, business the techniques used, different stakeholders ... from the sixth, students reflect on space, the spatial organization, structure, construction and environment with handling volumes, manufacture of articles and assembly sculptures.

Cutting the geography program, art raise the issues of human respect to the medium according to the different characteristics of the environment and question the natural relationship to the cultural and the natural to the frame under the dialectical form: natural / not natural, rural / urban, original / provided by humans, tradition / innovation.

Monumérique - Archimérique, an education program by the digital heritage

From a corpus of scanned documents, students, accompanied by heritage professionals, discover a historical, artistic, material or immaterial. In addition, each course includes a visit to the heritage institution 32 which shows the scanned funds and heritage skills, but also heritage sites and urban wanderings in connection with the theme studied; the final digital workshops supervised by a professional digital enable an digital production to validate certain skills B2I. This device management for cultural action (DAAC) the rector of Bordeaux is accessible online 33 from the mediation of funds carried out by ARPEL, regional agency for writing the book, newly appointed ECLA, Written , cinema, books, audiovisual 34 .

Thus, workshops were organized by the municipal archives of Bordeaux 36 around the project Cyprien Alfred-Duprat (1876-1933), architect utopian, which opens on innovative proposals for urban renewal in the early twentieth century.

The liaison committee of the Entre-deux-Mers (CLEM) 37 scanned the graph funds Drouyn Leo (1816-1896), artist and archaeologist nineteenth century. The draftsman and engraver has left over a travel diary style of its regional walks that offers considerable iconographic testimony on Aquitaine monuments before the development of photography: five thousand five thousand drawings and prints. The digitized work Drouyn Leo, whose sketchbooks published by the editions of the Entre-deux-Mers 38 since 1997, combines sensitive discovery of the site and its study via the digitized funds. Through workshops, reading a historical, architectural and morphological of the city depicted in the prints is envisaged and circuits on houses, Romanesque or rural habitat in the Southwest are offered in addition to the testimony of Leo Drouyn from other sources: archival work, maps, maps, aerial photographs ... Each monument is studied according to the function of the building, the architectural layout, history, evolution, historical and artistic interest. The student follows one of the thirty-three 'circuits Leo Drouyn "made by the CLEM that highlight the past seven years the Gironde heritage. Three workshops are offered to perform three types of productions: a sketchbook, a photographic and video report. Regarding the sketchbook, it is a personal travel blog that allows the student to "represent elements of the monument based on its sensitivity and tastes. He chooses what he will transmit, appropriates the heritage environment through education under. " An etcher accompanies this work by an introduction to etching etching, on the model of Leo Drouyn.

Indeed, the issue has upset the traditional book, she wanted to make it more expressive, creative and iconographic order to compete with the attractive multimedia support. As stated in an artistic director of a publishing house 39 , the album can "give another dimension to the text", to "develop a thought and content" to "discuss the text-image relation" and "give a rhythm to the book." The image and artistic expression are fundamental in achieving as they travel diary determine its marketing power.
