Soft ideas and hard lines
Get your fat pencils, pens and watercolors out again, have some fun and loosen up in your design explorations.
"Soft Ideas, soft lines; hard ideas, hard lines" "When overused as a design tool, however, computer drafting programs can encourage the endless generation of options rather than foster a deepening understanding of the design problem you which to solve." -Matthew Frederick
I am proud of the vast majority of the projects I did in architecture school, but there is only one that I am proudest of: a quickly knocked-out third year watercolor elevation of a dirigible-like building floating over an inset base. The image guided me through that semester, and still sits proudly in its frame in my home.
