Discontinuity and multiplication
While the classic works on flexibility in housing have focused on defining the meaning of this idea and on the study of the design tools required to achieve it, the matter of its graphic representation has not yet been addressed in depth. This article is intended as an initial approach to the way in which the architects of modernity began to experiment with different codes to express this new concept. Although it is part of a broader investigation of flexibility in housing, this study is limited to the field of domestic architecture in modernity. The article puts forward the theory that, although the concept of flexibility has been approached from very different positions over time, its graphic representation has maintained the codes established by the modern pioneers, and any variations have depended on the medium for which the drawings were intended.
