neutral  Denise Miranda: o arquiteto que planeja pode não ser o responsável, e o responsável técnico pode não ter planejado o prédio. "Sob o risco", aqui, é uma maneira um pouco mais poética de dizer que o arquiteto desenhou o projeto.

  -> you may be right Denise, but then again, how certain are you that risco in this case means design? do you have any references to support your answer?

Examples on how a building can be drafted:

A seven storey building with innovative door handles, difficult to locate lifts, little signposting and small sets of steps up and down into each room will be more difficult to improve for access than a building drafted by an architect who is trained in inclusive design principles.

The collection is housed in a building drafted by Walter Gropius, the founder of the school.

The building was subsequently drafted and constructed by government departments and completed in 1981.

When poet Gunnar Gunnarsson settled at Skriðuklaustur in 1939, he built a large, uniquely designed house, drafted by a German architect.

Vilanova Artigas assinalava que a partirdo Renascimento o desenho incorpora duasdimensões: é desígnio – intenção e propósito – e érisco – “traçado, mediação para expressão de umplano a realizar, linguagem de uma técnicaconstrutiva”. “Arquiteto não rabisca, arquitetorisca”, afirmava Lucio Costa ao sublinhar a intençãoque, argumentava, devia estar presente em todo oprocesso de elaboração do projeto, selecionando,coordenando e orientando em determinado sentidotodo o conjunto de variáveis técnicas, construtivas,funcionais e formais envolvidas na atividade.Conforme esse autor, “da mesma forma que aexpressão inglesa design, a palavra risco, em suaacepção antiga, está sempre associada à idéia deconcepção ou feitio de alguma coisa e como ...

agree  rhandler: Risco, neste contexto, é sinônimo de "traçado", não de perigo.
2 hrs
  -> Obrigada, Ralph, e uma boa semana para você!

neutral  Enza Longo: you can draft the plans, the project, etc. for the monastery but you can't draft the actual monastery methinks//my comment was with regard to your grammatical/vocabulary choice of words, i.e. drafting the monastery but as per your refs. it seems possible
5 hrs
  -> I believe you can. See note.
