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?

One of the very first sketches I ever published on Life of an Architect was the section sketch of the master bathroom shower in my own house. The two people in that sketch are some of the architectural scale figures that I use all the time. Architects and designers frequently use scale figures to help illustrate scale.

I started that site as a creative outlet in 2010 when things around the office where I was working got a bit slow. I used to think the only thing an architect did was draft a pencil sketch of what was going to be built. I was able to achieve the other two goals, turns out they weren’t as difficult as I had originally imagined.
