Neste trabalho, discute-se a rela??o entre as representa??es arquitet?nicas e o processo de concep??o projetual em contexto profissional, tendo como foco a fun??o que a representa??o assume como aux?lio ? concep??o. O objetivo geral consiste em compreender o papel das representa??es arquitet?nicas no processo de concep??o do projeto a partir da identifica??o dos modos de apropria??o de seus tipos e recursos. A investiga??o foi realizada atrav?s do estudo de cunho te?rico-conceitual acerca das tem?ticas abordadas, e da pesquisa emp?rica de car?ter qualitativo, aplicada a profissionais do estado do Rio Grande do Norte, e desenvolvida em duas etapas sendo, a primeira por meio de preenchimento de formul?rio eletr?nico, e a segunda, a partir de estudos de casos com execu??o de exerc?cios projetuais. Os resultados da pesquisa indireta demonstraram que a grande maioria dos arquitetos e urbanistas acredita que a maneira como utiliza os tipos e recursos de representa??o pode interferir no modo de concep??o do projeto arquitet?nico. E, ap?s a realiza??o dos estudos de casos, foi visto que, motivada por diferentes condi??es de projeto, a maioria dos projetistas utilizou das representa??es de maneira distinta, o que se refletiu em processos de concep??o diferentes. / The architect materializes his ideas using architectural representations that acts differently during the design process, as instrument that expresses his creatives ideas, as communication between the designer and the client, or as project documentation for its execution (DURAND, 2003). In this paper, it?s been discussed the connexion between the architectural representations and the design process, in a professional context, focusing on representation as an aid to conception. The general aim is to understand the role of architectural representations in the design process by identifying ways of appropriation of their types and resources. The investigation was developed through the theoretical and conceptual studies about the mentioned themes, and the empirical and qualitative research, with architects from the state of Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil, which was developed in two stages: the first one, by filling an electronic form, and the second one, by case studies through execution of design exercises. The results of indirect research showed that the majority of architects and urbanists believes that the way it use the types and representation resources may interfere in design concept. And, after the completion of the case studies, was showed that, motivated by different design conditions, most designers has used the representations differently, which is reflected in different design conceptions.
