Design Concept Sketches
That first sketch, always a subconscious stab in the dark, has a sticking power. Contrary to project management lore, the renaissance genius architect may not be a liability, but a gift. I sometimes make these and hide them, as they often contradict the design process, stakeholder analysis, and billable rates. Smarter clients have a brainstorming stage, where those blue sky sketches should line the walls.
A desert city from scratch.
A quick view of a Toronto condo project, rejected but staying in the back pocket.
A published sketch for a desert university of energy research.
A new school of information science, with student residence in corporate research. A new art museum is placed on the other side of a large atrium, hosing the original McLuhan coach house for media studies. This one got traction, but we don't know where it's going yet.
My favorite tropical med rev is innately drawable.emes. After 2 years as a Florida architect, part of my soul lies in these palm tree laden sketches. Something about med rev is forever drawable.
