I actually found the sketch I made as part of my design process ( what did we do before Instagram ? This is really a challenge to architecture students – you of all people should be designing and carving some kick-ass pumpkins. It has seriously become my online photo document/diary ). Anybody can do that.

The education of an architect intentionally and systematically breaks down the creative process “baggage” and untrained habits of their students, and then starts the process of rebuilding that process in a non-stigmatized environment.

For those in this situation, and even for those who do have an architecture background, here’s my advice: In the summer before starting school, spend a ton of time in the library, and an equal amount of time visiting buildings, sketching, and going to lectures and events. When I was looking for schools, that book was my Bible.

As a step towards the schematic design refinements, my boss had prepared 6' long pencil-drawn and marker-colored large-scale wall sections on narrow sketch paper strips that showed how everything should fit together. Such sketches are what I recommend my students to prepare if they want to test if they really understand their own design.
