1. Introduction
1
Please use this document for the submission of your
paper to the XVII EGA International Conference.
Authors should use this Word document and the
information contained within it as a template for the
formatting of their papers making use of the Word
styles implicit in this document. Appropriate
formatting will contribute to ease the reviewing
process and the laying out of the publication; thus
papers will maintain the same format and a similar
structure of content. Make sure to structure your paper
in accordance with the Content section of this paper.
Papers will be reviewed by the EGA 2018 Scientific
Committee and Peer Review Committee considering
the originality of the contribution, the innovation, the
structure, the writing, and the content. The work must
be an original contribution to the field of knowledge
relative to architectural graphic expression and to
architecture, and it shall not be published nor have
been sent to be published elsewhere. An anti-
plagiarism software will be run prior to publication to
avoid this eventuality; any paper that does not strictly
observe this recommendation will be automatically
rejected for publication.
2. Accepted Languages and Translations
As it is planned to publish the proceedings with the
texts in Spanish or Italian and, in addition, a full
version in English, the communications must be
written in English, Spanish or Italian, no other
languages will be accepted. Authors who wish to have
the double publication should send the translation of
their papers revised by a native speaker in the other
language, depending on the case, once their final paper
-initially sent only in their native language- is accepted.
Those translations that do not meet the writing and
syntax standards of a research paper or that do not
comply with the established deadline will be rejected.
3. Formatting
Consistent formatting will ease the reviewing process
as well as the structuring of the paper, and will enable
Graphic Imprint. On the Influence of the Representation and Ideation Tools in Architecture
readers of the proceedings to grasp easily the content
of your paper. Papers should be organized with a
clear content-oriented structure. Every paper has a
title and several headings. References follow at the
end of the paper using the Harvard references
citation system. Graphics and tables will be
embedded into the text. No empty lines should be
inserted after a paragraph.
The Proceedings book will be edited according to
the standard of the last EGA Conferences; therefore
it is important to strictly follow this format. The
maximum number of pages including all sections
and illustrations must not exceed 10 pages in any
case.
3.1. Fonts and Spacing
Body text should be set using the EGA-normal
template style (Times New Roman, 9,5 pt), which
provides 6 pt spacing after paragraphs. Emphasis
within the text, such as words or key phrases and
words in foreign languages, should be italicized.
Numbered lists may be allowed; Arabic numbering
should then be used. Use only one line feed after a
paragraph. Do not insert any empty lines between
paragraphs. Headings should be numbered, except
for the designation of the Abstract, Keywords and
References using the templates styles of this
document.
4. Margins and Layout
Text should be formatted in two columns and
justified. The text should be laid out following the
format and margins provided in this EGA 2018-
paper template. Maintain the Conference’s footer
defined in the template. Do not use footnotes.
Integrate the digressions or detailed discussions into
the text, if needed.
5. Content, Sections and Wording Extension
Papers must be concise and follow the structure of a
scientific paper providing: Abstract, Introduction,
Discussion, Conclusions and Bibliographic
References. The text should be clearly structured
according to academic writing conventions.
Papers should be no longer than 3,500 words,
excluding the abstract, captions and references.
Low-resolution images and captions should be
embedded in the paper within the first paper pdf file.
Once the paper is accepted the authors will send the
final word document with all omitted information in
the first submission –for anonymity purposes- as well
as the images, as separate JPG files, at high resolution
as indicated in the Illustrations section of this
document. This final submission should comprise a
single compressed file in ZIP or RAR format
containing all these files, which shall be named
“ID#.zip” (Being # the identification number (ID)
assigned to the paper in the OCS platform).
5.1. Sections
The Abstract should be a maximum of 200 words. Use
the EGA-Abstract template style. In the Abstract
section of the paper, the position of the work in terms
of contributing a theoretical approach should be clearly
and concisely stated. The results of the research and
major contributions should be briefly stated.
In the Introduction and Background sections of the
paper, the objectives of the work are to be stated and
placed within the context of relevant research. The
research can reflect the author's previous work but
should also cite original sources that led to the
development of a specific body of research. Proper
references to journal articles, books and/or conference
papers must be used when describing the precedent
work.
For the Discussion, the outcome of the work should be
clearly described and narrated. The author's work
should be placed in the context of architectural graphic
expression and indicate its contribution to previously
cited work and to the topic addressed.
The Conclusion section should describe the main
findings of the research and the original contributions
to the topic addressed in the paper. Such propositions
should be grounded in the precedents that were
originally stated in the hypothesis for the research and
in the discussion argumentation.
While an Acknowledgement section should not be
included in the submission for review, in accepted
papers the author(s) should provide in the final
submission a note indicating in addition to authorship
and filiation, the research group and/or the research
project in which the research is embedded, as well as
funding bodies if it is the case.
5.2. Illustrations
Illustrations may include line drawings, diagrams,
photographs and digital imagery. All of them alike are
to be considered figures with regard to formatting.
They should all be digitized, depending on the case,
 Impronta gráfica. Sobre la influencia de las herramientas de representación e ideación en la arquitectura
either by production using digital methods or
scanning of paper documents. High quality should
be maintained by using care in converting images to
a raster format, particularly when converting line
drawings into raster images. Avoid scaling and
rotating images which may decrease their quality.
Consequently, try to produce images to an
appropriate final size adjusting them to one or two
columns width considering their orientation too.
Resolution should be at least 300 dpi for images and
600 dpi for line drawings. Figures will be placed
after they are mentioned in the text. Leave no empty
lines above the figure nor below the figure caption.
All figures should be referenced within the body text
abbreviated (Fig. 1). Embed a Caption below the
figure. The editors will make final decisions
regarding the location of the figure. In any case no
more than 10 illustrations will be allowed.
The printing of the proceedings will be in black and
white; ensure your images follow the same standard
and that their grayscales are appropriate for their
visibility.
Each figure must have a brief descriptive caption.
Use the EGA-Figure Caption template style for the
caption. Number all diagrams, figures and photos
sequentially, Figure 1, Figure 2, etc., with one
character space between the number and the caption.
Use the Caption style provided in the electronic
template.

5.3. Tables
3
Tables should appear after the paragraph they are first
mentioned; they should not be relegated at the end of
the paper. Make their appearance simple.
A smaller typeface may be used for tables (8,5 point
font) than in the text. Use the same type size for all the
tables in the paper. Leave no empty lines above the
figure nor below the figure caption.
The title should appear as a heading of the table. An
EGA-Table Caption style is provided in the template.
Only use horizontal lines in the format of the table.

5.4. Identification and Credits
For the review submission, ensure that the document is
free of any identifying names, institutions, etc. for the
paper to maintain an anonymous review process as
indicated at the beginning of this document.
For accepted papers, all authors in order of
contribution will be listed under the title of the paper
with an affiliation for each author. An
acknowledgements section should be added for the
final submission attributing credits to the research
group and/or the research project in which the research
is embedded, as well as funding bodies or institutions,
if it is the case.
5.5. Joint authorship and copyright requirements
Please coordinate with your co-authors regarding
content and format. As has been traditional in EGA,
copyright of the texts remains with the author/s while
the proceedings book edition corresponds to the
institution of publication. There is a limited right of
publication to EGA for the proceedings edition but
authors may make digital copies of their work to load
them at institutional repositories or research social
networks. In addition, ensure you conveniently
reference the images that illustrate your text if they are
not personally created.
References and citation style
Submitted papers are expected to include a well
formulated bibliographical reference section as backing
Graphic Imprint. On the Influence of the Representation and Ideation Tools in Architecture
of the work. Only texts that are cited in the paper
should be included in the References (the list of
references is not a bibliography on the topic). Use
the EGA-reference style in the template to format
your reference entries.
Citations should be primarily from published journal
articles, books and conference papers rather than
web references. References from the EGA,
Disegnare or IJAC journals, texts included in the
proceedings from EGA and UID previous
conferences as well as the Cumincad database may
be especially suitable considering the topic of the
conference.
All works that are cited should be included in the
References section. The following format, based
upon the Harvard Referencing system should be
observed:
http://www.citethisforme.com/harvard-referencing
Harvard is a style of referencing, primarily used in
academic circles, to cite information sources.
Two types of citations are included:
In-text citations are used when directly quoting or
paraphrasing a source. They are located in the body
of the work and contain a fragment of the full
citation.
Depending on the source type, some Harvard
Reference in-text citations may look something like
this:
"After that I lived like a young rajah in all the
capitals of Europe…" (Fitzgerald, 2004).
Reference Lists are located at the end of the work
and display full citations for sources used in the
assignment.
Here is an example of a full citation for a book
found in a Harvard Reference list:
Fitzgerald, F. (2004). The great Gatsby. New York:
Scribner.
5.6. Harvard Reference List Overview
Reference lists are created to allow readers to locate
original sources themselves. Each citation in a
reference list includes various pieces of information
including the:
Name of the author(s)
Year published
Title
City published
Publisher
Pages used
Generally, Harvard Reference List citations follow this
format:
Last name, First Initial. (Year published). Title. City:
Publisher, Page(s).
Citations are listed in alphabetical order by the author’s
last name.
If there are multiple sources by the same author, then
citations are listed in order by the date of publication.

5.7. Harvard Reference List Citations for Books
with One Author
The structure for a Harvard Reference List citation for
books with one author includes the following:
Last name, First initial. (Year published). Title.
Edition. (Only include the edition if it is not the first
edition) City published: Publisher, Page(s).
If the edition isn’t listed, it is safe to assume that it is
the first addition, and does not need to be included in
the citation.
Example: One author AND first edition:
Patterson, J. (2005). Maximum ride. New York: Little,
Brown.
Example: One author AND NOT the first edition
Dahl, R. (2004). Charlie and the chocolate factory. 6th
