This unit provides Bachelor of Architecture and Environments students with the experience required to use a range of fundamental architectural sketching and drawing skills based on observation of the built environment. The workshop places an emphasis on keen observation, experimental use of materials and engagement with historical frameworks used in design practice. Perspective sketching, section and paraline systems are introduced with a focus on drawing as a communication device. Both in the studio and outside, drawing is used to document the visible world and define structure and detail. On successful completion of this unit of study students will have demonstrated familiarity with a range of drawing media and techniques, including an introduction to colour. Students also gain an understanding of the essential use of a sketchbook to record visual research and develop design thinking.
