architects who have aimed at acquiring manual skill without scholarship
have never been able to reach a position of authority to correspond to their pains, while those who
relied only upon theories and scholarship were obviously hunting the shadow, not the substance.
But those who have a thorough knowledge of both, like men armed at all points, have the sooner
attained their object and carried authority with them.
inspiration and design thinking, communication, recording, evaluation and testing, analysis, visualization and understanding. Donald Schön writes that much of what defi nes the ‘ refl ective practitioner ’ is a designer having a conversation with the situation. He reinforces the relationship of designers to the way they visualize when he writes ‘ … the graphic world of the sketchpad is the medium of reflection-inaction.… Because the drawing reveals qualities and relations unimagined beforehand, moves can function as experiments.
Fraser and Henmi suggest that a drawing has two lives: a dialogue with the architect at the time of the actual action of drawing and an afterlife, during which others view and interact with it. ‘ The infl uence of drawing then exists independently, acquiring its own voice and its own history through many acts of viewing and interpreting .Architects may be looking for something different each time they sit down to draw, and may discover something other than expected at each sitting. The methods and techniques, although unique to each architect, may also vary depending on the intended outcome and, in a situation of this variety,
All images convey something, whether they are ideas, impressions, or emotions, and these communications range from the concrete to the abstract. Bernard Tschumi writes that all architecture represents something – the king, or ideas of God ( Tschumi, 1994 ).
recognize that drawings, like sketches, have the potential to multiply thought and create a chain of associations that lead to new ways of seeing and understanding. Here it is evident that the acts of visual dialogue enrich the entire process
Architects depend upon sketches throughout the process of design as a medium for dialogue. They are the physical manifestation of their thinking and are used in various ways from the inception of the project to final detailing and evaluation. Intention and meaning evident in the use of architectural sketches may be explored by comparing them to theories of play, memory, imagination, and fantasy. Sketches may facilitate discovery and the fi rst inspirations for conceptual beginnings, they can be part of the communication between parties involved in the process, or they are often a means to record mental impressions. As evidenced by cave paintings and images continuously created through history, humans also have an innate desire to represent what they see and what they imagine.
