So, over that weekend, I basically sketched out a whole new plan on the fly—a new stadium and a new fieldhouse. There was definitely an initial element of surprise about the process of designing. The overall experience is one of complete cohesion, and I'm excited to see how the stadium integrates into this visual landscape.

After my trademarked exhaustive research, I am happy to report definitively that the winner is … it’s a tie. While this would get more use by an architect that tends to sketch more, I still believe that it is useful to any architect. At some point, I think we all need to overlay a few items and coordinate.

They are both terrific and both have a role to play; I receive enough emails relating to hand sketching ( old architects ) versus computer drawing ( young architects ) that I think I have my finger on the pulse on how that argument plays out. That is definitely something special for the clients. But a physical model? Amazeballs.

I learned to design in architecture school using freehand sketching and manual drafting. And though others in my profession often use computers to assist their design, I still begin with the sketch…by hand. Often, I look down at the blank piece of paper without a definite sense of what the design wants to be.
