| Resumo: | [EN] This article brings to light and examines the original drawings of the Davies House (Woodside, California; 1940 1941), the first work by Anshen & Allen, preserved in the Environmental Design Archives at UC Berkeley. The analysis of this previously unpublished corpus of plans, sketches, and perspectives reveals how graphic representation functioned simultaneously as a tool for the architects thinking and as a space for dialogue and negotiation with their client. The conclusions show that drawing was key to the development of a comprehensive conception of architecture in which technique, intuition, and landscape converge, while also highlighting the historiographical value of graphic archives and their potential as alternative means for preserving modernist architectural heritage. |
