Architectural Sketching 2023
Written By Ad Astra .
An architectural class that focused on the basics of sketching in an architectural technical sense. These drawings are all from the collection of 160 separate drawings made for this class. Most all of them were timed and none of these took more than an hour to complete. This collection is not all performance pieces, but meant to showcase the process of the formal art of architecture.
