The significance of sketches in the education of architects and in the development
of their professional skills
Sketches are an irreplaceable method of recording thoughts and of correcting the design process. They are a means of discovering and examining reality which supports the development of imagination. Sketching is an essential element in the education of architects and in the double-loop learning process. Sketching opens two channels of communication: conversation and spatial-visual activity. Both traditional and new digital tools have important roles in the development of future architects. The primacy of computer design over freehand drawing in an architect’s work can lead to the disappearance of a designer’s individuality and creativity, limiting the role of his personality at the earliest stage of the design process.
