The book is a guide for students and teachers to understand the
need for, the role of and the methods and techniques of freehand
analytical sketching in architecture. The presentation focuses on
drawing as an approach to and phase of architectural design. The
conceptual goal of this approach is to use drawing not as
illustration or depiction, but as exploration. The first part of
the book discusses underlying concepts of freehand sketching in
design education and practice as a complement to digital
technologies. The main component is a series of chapters that
constitute a typology of fundamental issues in architecture and
urban design; for instance, issues of "facade" are illustrated with
sketch diagrams that show how facades can be explored and sketched
through a series of specific questions and step-by-step procedures.
In the expanded and updated edition, a new part explores the
questions and experiences of large architectural offices in
applying freehand drawing in the practice of architectural design.
This book is especially timely in an age in which the false
conflict between "traditional vs. digital" gives way to multiple
design tools, including sketching. It fosters understanding of the
essential human ability to investigate the designed and the natural
world through freehand drawing.
