In architecture, design and drawing are inseparable.
Whether the drawing is by hand or computer is for the moment, irrelevant. What matters is the translation of a thought into some visually discernible artefact. By drawing I mean both making marks on a two-dimensional sheet or screen and making exploratory three-dimensional models. They are investigatory tools that are an essential element of the design process.
Drawings become a tool through communicating to the designer and the recipient of the design. Their ability to do so depends on certain conventions which need to be understood.
In this sense architectural drawings – plans, sections, elevations – differ from other drawings, from drawings as works of art. We know at once the difference in character and intention between a drawing.
