Philosophy On Hand Drawing
Professor Wines strongly advocates hand drawing as a key to conceptual processes, along side computer-aided tools “For most architects graphic representation is notional, technical, or illustrative and mainly used as an analytical tool to record design intentions. I consider drawing more as a way of exploring the physical and psychological state of inclusion, suggesting that buildings can be fragmentary and ambiguous, as opposed to conventionally functional and determinate.”
