Drawing as part of Architecture. Sketching is a medium as important and essential as whistling and humming is for a composer, it helps in transposing a mental image into a spatial representation.
It is also a way of confronting and resolving the intricacies of a project. This can be achieved also with computer aided 3D systems but sketching provides a more direct tool for solidifying ideas compared with the intermediary of computers. A pencil can be more versatile than current 3D programs as well as being a shorter path between the concept and the design – keeping the final outcome more true to the original idea.
