The digital tools of architecture practice are always changing, but most architects will tell you that analog tools – sketching and model making – are an unchanged part of their design process. I find making things by hand – the craft of it – forces me to slow down, to think and to explore. It’s often a failed experiment that pushes the work in a new, unexpected direction.
In this video, watch as I turn a conceptual sketch into a working study model which I’ll use as a presentation and design tool for an upcoming client meeting.
