Paulo Mendes da Rocha’s - Pritzker prize 2006 laureate – lesson on building design process, performed as a model making workshop, published by Cosac & Naify (Rocha, 2007), is the base for the following notes. The architect’s discourse, in its particularities and universality, allows approaches for the individual understanding of the architect who designs, reflects over his own work, and is also an educator, a building design teacher; as well as allows approaches for the mind of a whole generation of architects, grown with a critical view upon modern movement, and with an intense production after 1950. Key words: representation, models, architectural design process.
