Sketches
Sketches and drawings are an architect's primary means of communicating ideas.
Design begins with discussions and conversations which, inevitably, result in a doodle or a sketch to help make a point or clarify an idea.
Buildings, especially old buildings, tell stories. Observing and sketching can help unlock those stories and hopefully teach us about our own sense of design.
I sketch to develop ideas, understand my environment, improve my vision and enhance communication. Sketches, design or otherwise, are first steps toward understanding and they reveal how much and how little we know about a place, thing, or idea.
The first six sketches are from professional design projects.
“Bar+Nodes” , "Sisters" and "Mid Century Early Century" were used to demonstrate site development ideas for Noll and Tam's winning project proposal for the Los Altos Community Center.
“34th ST. NEW YORK, NY” is a conceptual sketch for a High Tech company’s retail project in New York.The fifth sketch,
"Marin Ave Stairs", was completed to clarify the design intent of work under construction.
The balance of these sketches were made in my travels around New York State and the San Francisco Bay Area.
