Freehand drawing versus digital design tools in architectural teaching

Abstract

The oldest drawings resembling modern architectural designs date from the 22nd Century BC. Throughout history, the first drawings have evolved into the basic tool of the architect’s work. The exchange of information between the architect and the contractor began to take place through a drawing system, allowing to describe three-dimensional space using flat representations. With time, architectural drawings also began to resemble true works of art, delighting with their artistry and ability to show even the most complicated spatial and technical solutions. With the increasing use of digital design tools taking place today, the teaching and practical use of freehand drawing and traditional methods of presenting students’ work is beginning to disappear in architecture schools. The purpose of this article is to investigate students’ ability to use traditional and digital methods to create and present architectural designs, based on architectural education carried out in the Faculty of Engineering at Gdańsk University of Technology (FA-GUT), Poland, in the academic year 2020/2021.
