Here are a few sketches of Famous structures, done by the Starchitects themselves. But it still stands to be the perfect medium, the first representation of an Architects’ creativity, imagination, and design philosophies, amalgamating to form the initial and raw image of the final product. The architectural sketch itself may look like something Picasso drew in his sleep ( Zaha Hadid!) or like a 5-year-old’s crayon drawing (Sorry Cesar Pelli). Sketching and Architecture are 2 sides of the same coin. An Architect’s most important tool, the medium of conversion of thoughts and creativity to tangible parameters, on paper!
