Drawing the indiscernible: morphogenesis & morphography of the artefacts

Based on the assumption that “Drawing” aims at providing the most effective expression of the figural geometry of visual, natural or artificial objects, this paper proposes to analyse two branches of the discipline: 1) a notion of “figural geometry” of the bodies consisting of a “figurative” (iconic and analogical) and a “plastic” (mereological and gestaltic) component; 2) new “form” (eidetic) categories more suitable for the comprehension of the main aesthetic artefacts – from city to decoration – resulting from some morphogenetic models, especially those developed by Turing and Thom.
