Abstract
The concept of graphic intelligence is certainly nothing new for those who are used to using this form of intelligence daily within their professions. Architects, engineers and, more generally, designers base their entire work activity on graphic thought, that form of thought that involves the hand, the eye and the brain in the elaboration and communication of design ideas (Gardner in Frames of mind: the theory of multiple intelligence. Basic Books, New York, 1983).
