ABSTRACT

Digital techniques introduced in the past decades

have led a cultural shift in architectural design and

its communication; new art forms and techniques

influence the expression of architects’ thoughts

and ideas. However, continuing emphasis remains

that hand-drawn sketches allow for a deeper under-

standing of design, which computer generated

visualisations do not offer. Inevitably media play

influential roles in the expression and communica-

tion of design. Subsequently the act of sketching

allows for its own experience and interpretation

of spatial arrangements (Goldschmidt 1991). Yet

digitally aided sketching merges both realms into a

novel expression of architectural communication,

which we present in this paper.
