My world is very much influenced by how well-designed buildings appear, how they are put together, and the details that distinguish them from the ‘anywhere architecture’ that blights our world.
I am forever striving to perfect my own drawings and those produced by others to ensure not only accuracy, but also to be legible by others and not ambiguous in any way. This skill I consider to be a dying art and is sadly the exception rather than the rule. I wistfully like to think that students of architecture continue to spend their summers studying ancient Greek and Roman buildings first hand, but then I have to remind myself that we grew up without computers or software. I am proud that I still draw with a pencil on tracing paper and it is the way I express myself best.
