It focused on the subject The reasons of Drawing, and particularly on the new ways of thinking, shaping, and managing new complexities, which are possible thanks to contemporary graphical and technical media and resources. Focus 4 dealt with The reasons of drawing as narration, anddeveloped their discussions around the possibilities that drawing brings when considering its qualities as a metalanguage, its limits, and its ability to set an instrumental basis to various different scientific fields to be used byarchitects, designers, and urban planners. All contributions coincided with the fact that graphic sign is mainly used to communicate a message, but that it also permits to follow the paths of the tracer's memory and will: "je peux me déplacer devant lui, commencer par le haut, par le bas, parfois même aller autour" [1].The ability to explore the qualities and capacities of drawing as a narration has an ideal limit, which is the topic that Focus 4 intended to analyse. Although wekept in mind the traditional role of drawing as a representation tool, other possibilities introducing variables as real time and virtual reality, werenot discounted.
