Without these elements, this drawing would be limited to the exercise of aesthetics on which it also performs on its own right and be outstripped of its functional meaning. Like the map and the territory, these sections are frequently scaled one to one when not bigger. Simulation is devised before the real; in these drawings we observe a generation by models of a real, which has been mapped before its existence, and whose ultimate goal is a physical reality. This representation depicts the first floor of the library, and like all plans, it is drawn from an imaginary point in space.

This sort of representation is in many ways similar to code, as it is comprised by a specific language understood by architects and other building professionals but not easily understood by people outside the field. Nonetheless, untrained eyes can still discern a general idea of some elements here depicted a notion of space, for example. Discernment of other elements like materiality and structural integrity require another level of training.
