Over the last few decades technology has replaced so many things within architectural practice. Rotring pens, T-squares, drafting boards, lightboxes and blueprinting have all disappeared. Possibly the only thing left from the olden ways is the sketchbook, but now even that has joined the endangered list.

I can draft them, I can sketch them, I can get on a computer and use software like Revit (well, I can’t use Revit), AutoCAD, or whatever your drafting software of choice might be. Sketching, drafting, 3dmodeling, rendering, I've talked about all of it at one time or another but there are some particular moments that stand out for me.

Sketching is part of the architects domain and there was a time when it was a forgone conclusion that if you were an architect, you could sketch. Last week I received an email from a friend who asked me which digital sketching apps I preferred – and I have no idea. They are a little different from the sketches that follow.

Ben Ayres: Some might argue that practical skill sets like being proficient at sketching your ideas are no longer as important, as you can do so much digitally now, but I think that being able to sketch your designs is a huge asset. Ultimately, it comes down to how that person works best.

It can be a pencil sketch, a physical model, freehand, drafting board, digital. So my hobby began with hand sketches and collected images. So between this and my blog, perhaps a broader public can get an idea of what my little hobby is all about. But for me, drawing is central. I am using that word in its widest sense.

I refer to this as a "rapid BIM sketch". You may think that the idea of a "rapid BIM sketch" is a contradiction in terms, that it's only "real BIM" if it follows the industry standards for commercial projects. Over the course of my lifetime, "trust" has been replaced by hard-coded standards. I understand why but I remain unconvinced.
