This book delves into the complex processes of drawing from memory, offering a unique synthesis of themes like representation, memory, space, and creativity. By weaving together diverse approaches, it examines spatial representation through collaborative and cartographic mapping, spatial and temporal memory related to places and mental imagery, and creativity in artistic perception. Across seven chapters, it covers analyses of collaborative representation in specific, alongside chapters focusing on artistic and expressive practices. The book also addresses broader contextsurban and cultural influences, cognitive and developmental aspects, and aesthetic perspectives. Readers with scientific or artistic interests will find valuable insights, as the book offers not only rigorous analysis but also an exploration of drawing as a transformative, culturally rich act of memory and invention, opening up new perspectives on perception and creative expression.
