| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺灣科技大學 === 建築系 === 94 === The architectural education in Taiwan recently shows that the form studying and design thinking rely more often than before on digital tools instead of sketches and hard-line drawings because of the progress of CAD software. Students make precise shapes rapidly but leave the primary capacities and meanings of drawings aside. This paper aims to explore the importance of drawings during the design agenda and re-consider the deserved relation between drawings and design development.
This study started from series of interviews with nine famous architects mentioned in “Why Architects Draw” by Edward Robbins in 1994 and discussed how architects design and think through their drawings. Secondly, we classified each category of drawings and related design topic and analyze the logic of drawing. Then we clarified the importance of drawings and temporary presentations in each phase during design process. Finally, we explored the essence of design thinking and the presentation and the interrelation between drawings and the design results.
The previous studies revealed the drawings’ capacities of de-composing and re-constructing concepts and brought them to further practices. Each category of drawings delivers specific information and presents design contents; and it helps designers to make judgments. Because the original presentation of drawings quietly leads the way of design thinking, the design results look similar. Consequently, there is a close interrelation between drawings, logical thinking, and the presentation of design results.
