Abstract

This article describes the relationship between active perception of space and hand-drawing, with particular emphasis on their role in developing creative skills of architects. There are four categories of vision and their respective modes of artistic record. All of them are described on the basis of examples of W. Weiss, Z. Herbert, contemporary architects (including T. Głowacki) and student work. Attention was drawn to certain distinctness and at the same time complementing these attitudes in the final shaping of the active, creative attitude of perception of space, called Active Eye.
