What About Sketching? I’m not sure that it’s that big a deal nowadays – and it would seem that most graduating architecture students don’t really know how to sketch based on the portfolio’s I’ve seen. Can’t draw? It must be Presentation Skills … right?

Jess Hopkin If it’s any consolation, I use sketch up all the time for trying to make my point at uni Tony Bob, Im new to your blog, and I have had some reading a lot of your posts and insight. The stuff the architecture students are learning in college is whacky. Cool, but whacky. Place the fridge at other end of bench.

The fact I included a case study chapter in Buildings in Print , as mentioned above, points to my appreciation of this sub-genre of architecture books but also to the role they have played in teaching architecture students, spreading knowledge around important works, and promoting architects and architecture within and beyond the profession.

I think through drawing and sketching, for others they might turn towards computer software … I don’t really care. I’m a 20 year old architecture student from India and I do believe I’m going through an identity crisis, right in the midst of my submissions too! I know I believe it. Alan Manning Great!

Robbie Darling Bob I am an architecture student, and recently I got to design a small dwelling, which included its own small kitchen.

The students developed master plans and then designed schemes ranging from reimagined brownstones to terraced housing and other ways of weaving more units between the existing buildings.
