The paradigm shift from an industrial to a postindustrial society, dominated by information and communication technologies, altered the role of the architect within society. This changed situation has led to a review of the conventional mechanisms of architectural representation and the emergence of the diagram as the most convenient design tool to solve the new challenges that the discipline must face. It is an instrument of design at the hands of the architect with the capacity to investigate the unexplored territories of architecture, and the ability to put forward new readings and interpretations of architecture. This article highlights two different ways of conversing with the project: the diagrammatic positions that work with the architectural object itself (program diagrams, contextual diagrams, spatial diagrams) and the diagrammatic positions that prioritize the subject and the architectural experience (experiential diagrams).
