Abstract

Ein Studien- und Arbeitsbuch für das Zeichnen von Hand als Mittel des architektonischen Analyse- und Gestaltungsprozesses. Anhand einer systematisch gegliederten Auswahl von Zeichnungen des Autors werden die Methoden und Techniken in einer schrittweisen Darstellung detailliert vorgeführt und erläutert.Zeichnen dient nicht der Illustration, sondern der Exploration, der Erkundung und Analyse - dies ist die Grundannahme des Buches. Im einleitenden Teil werden Theorien und Praktiken der Anwendung von Freihand-zeichnungen an Universitäten und in Büros beschrieben - bewusst parallel zu den digitalen Darstellungstechniken. Den Großteil des Buches nehmen jene Kapiteln ein, die zusammen eine Typologie der wichtigsten Teile und Bereiche des Hochbaus und des Städtebaus ergeben; beispielsweise werden für die Aufgabe "Fassade" mit schematischen Skizzen die besonderen Fragestellungen herausgearbeitet und Schritt für Schritt zeichnerisch entwickelt.Das Buch reagiert auf eine sich abzeichnende Entwicklung, in der die unproduktive Konfrontation digitaler und analoger Techniken überwunden wird zugunsten der Nutzung einer breiten Auswahl von Entwurfswerkzeugen, zu denen auch das Freihandzeichnen gehört. "Drawn to Design" will zugleich die Entfaltung grundlegender menschlicher Fähigkeiten bei der Gestaltung der gebauten Umwelt fördern. The book is a guide for students and teachers to understand the need for, the role of and the methods and techniques of freehand analytical sketching in architecture. The presentation focuses on drawing as an approach to and phase of architectural design.The conceptual goal of this approach is to use drawing not as illustration or depiction, but as exploration. The first part of the book discusses underlying concepts of freehand sketching in design education and practice as a complement to digital technologies. The main component is a series of chapters that constitute a typology of fundamental issues in architecture and urban design; for instance, issues of "façade" are illustrated with sketch diagrams that show how façades can be explored and sketched through a series of specific questions and step-by-step procedures. This book is especially timely in an age in which the false conflict between "traditional vs. digital" gives way to multiple design tools, including sketching. It fosters understanding of the essential human ability to investigate the designed and the natural world through freehand drawing.The author, Eric Jenkins received several teaching awards and design awards. He is Associate Professor at Catholic University of America's School of Architecture and Planning where he teaches design, theory and analytical sketching. He earned a Masters in Design Studies from Harvard University's Graduate School of Design, and has previously published "To Scale: One Hundred Urban Plans".

Abstract

You love sky watching and are excited by what you see through your telescope. You want to keep a record of what you see. You want others to see it. These are all good reasons to put down your pencil and pad and get started cybersketching! What is cybersketching? It is using a small computer, such as a laptop or a PDA, to make a sketch of what you see through your telescope or even with your naked eye. Particularly good subjects are the Moon and the brighter planets, but even deep space has much to offer a cybersketcher. Why cybersketch? Sketching what you see is a fantastic way not only to record what you see but to share it with others. Before imaging, sketching was the only way people had of sharing their discoveries. With all the fancy new imaging devices around, sketching has become something of a lost art. But it shouldn’t be! Not only is it an inexpensive and quick way to record and share what you see. It also helps you to hone your observational skills. Using a computer gives you a variety of exciting and fun tools to use and ways to make your sketches almost professional, so you can show them off and display them. In this book, Peter Grego outlines the evolution of cybersketching, with a brief review of the history of computers, hardware and software, and how to use the tools that are now available to astronomy buffs. If you are not sketching because you think it is old-fashioned, or if you are sketching using only a pencil and paper, read this book and see why you are missing out on some terrific new technologies that are easy to use and affordable to nearly everyone. Become an astronomical cybersketcher, and you will find that the time you spend exploring the night sky is even more rewarding than you ever imagined.
