Learning to Sketch

I spend most of my day in a digital work environment and I’ll often find myself tweaking the smallest of details for no other reason than the fact that the tools encourage it. Digital space is without limitation, yet creativity thrives on constraints. Boundaries give form to our ideas and shape our work. There’s no question digital tools are an integral part of how we realize our architecture today and in the 25 years I’ve been practicing, those tools have changed and improved the way I work significantly. Yet I still believe digital tools are best suited for executing ideas. It's the analog tools that I seek out to birth those ideas.

Sketching is thinking. Sketching is seeing. Sketching is learning. With pencil in hand, I’m a child. I think that’s part of the magic of learning to sketch, it allows me to see problems with a child’s mind, the mind of an amateur.

I designed the BLANK sketchbook because I know how transformative establishing a sketching habit can be. If you pick up a pair you'll be helping to support my educational mission online. They’re available for a limited time on Amazon (US shipping only).

Certainly, they are also helpful in the daily growth of our work and of improving it.

It's an absolute shame that architectural graduated can't draw very well anymore. Instead of drawing a sketch of a detail right there on site for the contractor to follow, they go back to the office, review everything in office, send a tea out to document it the bring it back so it can be drawn in Revit and circulated and approved by the world. Instead about 30 minutes it takes three days. An absolute shame.
