Summary/Abstract: The paper treats ‘architectural graphics’ as a unique written language, a main element in the processes of designing. It compares architectural graphic artefacts, presented in the public domain. The study focuses on the period from the beginning of the twentieth century until the 1920s. The development of the graphic artefacts allows for tracing out the attempts to build a highly professional work tradition, adequate to the established international and European styles and standards. Some major figures and their influence on the development of Bulgarian architecture and architectural graphics are considered. The methods of the study are based generally on the semiotic approaches in combination with comparative and component analyses. Some of the main characteristics of graphical representations in Bulgaria at the turn of the twentieth century are determined. The expected results are in the field of Bulgarian architecture’s history and the studies on architectural graphics. This study is part of the author’s project titled Bulgarian Twentieth-century Architectural Graphics: Issues and Trends.
