The article highlights the value of interwoven architectures by showing the direct relationship between creation and architectural graphic representation. The difficulty of representing weaves or wefts, applied to the shape, had limited their geometric evolution until the arrival of the digital era. The possibilities offered by modeling software applications are making it possible to overcome this handicap, and it can be seen how certain renowned architects are rediscovering new shapes in this type of architecture. These software applications allow architecture students to go from generating to printing attractive geometric shapes in 3D with ease, meaning that some skills suffer. That is why a teaching experience is developed that goes deeper into the representation and creation of interwoven artifacts. Traditional skills and abilities are worked on, with the support of new technologies, allowing students to increase their abilities associated with drawing and with the ideationcreation of architecture with their own hands.
