Allen differentiates between diagrams and notation, and describes “notational systems operate according to shared conventions of interpretations, while diagrams are by definition open to multiple interpretations”. What does this have to do with architectural drawings?
On page 50 & 51, Allen gives out multiple definitions of what a diagram can be. I think the most basic definition that best explains a diagram is "an explanatory device to communicate or clarify form, structure, or program" (50) or "a graphic assemblage that specifies relationships between activity and form" (51). Do you agree or disagree?
Do we read a city by reading its text: "from the language of its inhabitants to the space of the street" (56)? How do we read a city if it has changed so much?
