They can serve as vehicles for exploring ideas, as in Benedikt's book on the Kimbell; they can serve as repositories for the many sketches, drawings, and photographs produced about a place; or they can exist somewhere in between on such a spectrum between critical analysis and laudatory presentation.

I’ve sketched up a typical bedroom to help illustrate what I mean. In this sketch, I’ve rotated the bed 180° so that the head of the bed is opposite the entry and when the occupants are lying in bed, they have a clear view of the door. It’s disturbing and most people unknowingly try to avoid it.

I even sketched the floor plan of my room at the bottom.

It is a beautiful building and a frequent source of inspiration.

I think through drawing and sketching, for others they might turn towards computer software … I don’t really care. I would suggest a third question, to complete the Venn diagram: What does the world need? I know I believe it. I like to draw I’m not restricting this to pen or pencil on paper.
