Ask any architect or architecture student if it’s possible to pursue a career in architecture without being able to draw/sketch, the answer will inevitably be “yes, but…” The creative process for many still begins with sketching ideas and concepts down on paper before committing them to the PC.Īmerican architect Michael Graves was a strong advocate for hand-drawn design, and although the use of CAD was inevitable and valuable in his own practice, he felt strongly about the importance of hand-drawn architectural designs. Though most architects spend much of their time using CAD to create their project plans and pitches, a great deal still start the creative process with a simple pencil and paper. Hand drawn architectural plans are still used as a creative starting point. But does hand drawn architecture still have a place in the design process? The creative starting point Many professionals consider the use of hand drawing design as an art form that is no longer needed computers have taken over most of the hard work when it comes to creating detailed, intricate architectural designs.
No one can deny the impact of technology on almost every industry in the world, and the practice of architecture has changed dramatically in recent years with the common integration of computer-aided design (CAD).
