ET107 – H(i): Human Intelligence Sketching Tour

Additional fee, registration required.

With the advent of AI, the architect's toolbelt has been augmented by yet another technological advancement. As a complement, this human intelligence hands-on workshop will seek to re-engage the power of the human hand-eye-mind connection with a series of sketching exercises at diverse sites.

This interactive tour will be inclusive of all experience and skillset levels and types of practitioners. Lessons will focus on analytical drawings of an interior space, a building in its urban context, and an outdoor space.

You'll need a sketchbook (min. 5"x8"), pencils and/or pens, and an eraser.

Learning Objectives

1. Re-engage the physical act of drawing architectural sites with fundamental sketching techniques that will serve you in the day-to-day design process.
2. Learn the value of analytical drawings to "see through the hand" to capture a site's potential or essence.
3. Gain confidence in the basic skills needed to draw onsite while synthesizing, through analytical drawings, key aspects of a space.
4. Reconnect with the experience that has attracted many people to architecture—the act of drawing.
