I have been struggling with the juncture we all find ourselves in. I would love to hear your thoughts. I know that I am in good company when I say that there is construction, and there is Architecture..and that there is more to our profession than management. How about Poetry? http://sketchbloom.wordpress.com/2010/02/22/the-death-of-architecture/ THANK YOU for giving support to me and countless of architecture professionals who strived to convey this message to aspiring architects.

You just can't dig in up to your elbows digitally (and I've been using a digital gumbo of products for 20+ years). To your piles of sketchbook comment- I find that no matter how I catalogue or archive it that digital work "dissapears." When I need to dig up something old it's always a sketchbook or hardcopy that's been filed (or piled) in some closet or basement. Sketching always helps “feel” out the project too.

It comes out as some kind of gestures. I also use moleskin, but as many times I must leave the sketches at the jobsite, I'd like to find an easy way to keep a copy of it (what I use to do is take a photo with my phone). One question: what notebook is the one of the last picture? In our profession we naturally draw while we talk. It comes out as some kind of gestures.

Stay tuned... @Joe – sounds good to us, that will at least justify keeping all these stacks of sketchbooks around from decades of sketching. Stay tuned…

Good stuff.

I'm forwarding to my former students and friends who teach. There was a tendency amongst my students to run to computer modeling to test ideas, and as they experienced, the computer unfortunately allowed them to create things that were from many perspectives unbuildable (expensive, structurally complicated or just simply impossible as forms in the physical world). Sketching 'could' do that as well, but when you're engaged in it you are actually thinking through the very many process that go into putting something together: it's not automatic like the computer programs tend to be. Also, it's so much faster to draw (major time and cost savings) and a psychological relief from being glued to an inanimate machine. Thanks! This is great!
