JULY 30, 2021

Freehand sketching and painting on stretched canvas are physical activities that I have always enjoyed. In my thirties, my obsession took me into education in Zimbabwe, writing and illustrating small text books, teaching at various levels. For long enough I imagined this as a series of books. Instead I started a blog.

Sketching is part of the architects domain and there was a time when it was a forgone conclusion that if you were an architect, you could sketch. Last week I received an email from a friend who asked me which digital sketching apps I preferred – and I have no idea. They are a little different from the sketches that follow.

Sketching is a hot topic regardless of the people having the discussion, but I have learned over the last nine years of writing this site that sketching is one of the more hotly contested topics. This was a practice that I have generally avoided since I started writing this blog, but hopefully, this is also of some value.

Although the word monograph literally applies to any book devoted to any individual subject — be it a person, a place, a thing, or even an idea — in the realm of architecture books that one-word term is used more prevalently, if not strictly, in regards to individual architects and/or firms. A book on Le Corbusier is a monograph.
