What About Sketching? I’m not sure that it’s that big a deal nowadays – and it would seem that most graduating architecture students don’t really know how to sketch based on the portfolio’s I’ve seen. Can’t draw? It must be Presentation Skills … right?

Since a number of people don’t seem to understand this concept, I thought I would whip together some sketches to help illustrate my point. In order to reach all points on the site without damaging the trees, the contractor had to use a concrete pump truck with a giant arm on it. Here is a look at the controller for the pump arm.

One of the very first sketches I ever published on Life of an Architect was the section sketch of the master bathroom shower in my own house.
