It’s always difficult for me to hear someone say that their sketches aren’t good, especially when they are in the field of architecture/design, thus preventing themselves from drawing by hand. This statement is practically impossible. When drawing/sketching, the initial implementation of paper to pencil is not about the look of the sketch itself, but the idea coming to life as you exercise its form on paper—sometimes over and over again. Don’t be afraid to erase rarely or work mistakes in your sketch to provide new ideas. Remember that sketching does not obey planes or axis—it freely moves between all three. Sketching is fluid and should not be limited to work, but also the spare time we have to dream.

Below are further examples of unrealized buildings and cityscapes that just occur at any time regardless of activity. Architecture continues to live inside of you, when you are awake and when you sleep. Should it not be delineated and expanded on further rather than being at risk of disremembering?



As mentioned in my other post, my fascination with the Gardiner still follows me today, long after my thesis.
It cannot be stressed enough that sketching is a multifaceted benefit. Delineation implies you are translating or transcribing something thus recorded it. One note of encouragement: the amassing of sketches can contribute to future ideas that benefit the real world. Can our architectural daydreams really make a difference? There’s really only one way to find out.
