Jeff Sheppard:
Design Solutions through Drawing and the Act of Discovery

Architecture

With the advent of digital technology and 3d software programs, sketching and drawing has become a lost art, yet is making a comeback as universities and design  programs have now re-integrated freehand drawing into their curriculums.

This presentation utilizes past competition submittals, un-built works and built projects as the basis for communicating the importance of sketching and drawing when uncovering and discovering design solutions. The emotive and gestural aspects of freehand drawing will be explored with specific emphasis on ‘drawing to discover’ and ‘drawing to represent’.
