Sketch like an Architect……Principles of Good Freehand Graphics

Image
‘Drawing is Architect’s Language’ My favorite quote is by Ar. Le Corbusier “ I prefer drawing to talking. Drawing is faster, and leaves less room for lies”                       Everyone loves to see a well-drawn Sketch and be awed by it… If you have been amongst the ones who wish to draw but are afraid to do it, this blog is for you… Follow the tips and I can assure you, that you will enjoy the journey of being confident with sketching. What is the best medium to work with...? Software, Drafting or Freehand sketching…? Most of the Students find Software as a tool easier for drawing as it offers better control… as a result, they end spending 80-90% of their time exploring the software. The labor-intensive hours spent on practicing drawing on software ends up making them a Draftsman, than a Designer. Trust me, On the contrary, if one spends even half the amount on developing freehand abilities, they will be able to draw & visualize better and be

Digital Revolution in Design Education: India

The Show must Go ON.... The Digital Revolution in Education is here and it is there to Stay. The age-old systems of curriculum content, conduct and evaluation have been forced to change, ending the archaic modes and bringing on the opportunity for ‘open learning’. The ‘Bharat Padhe Online’ initiative by leveraging the potential of ICT based learning, UGC has shared links of platforms developed by MHRD. The online portal system supports lifelong learning. In today’s era of digitization and a connected world. Only time lag is the geographical latitude, we all are sharing the planet in real time. To survive this competitive environment the Institutions must be geared with robust infrastructure and ability to connect with the real world by remaining updated. The rules of teaching learning are changing, no longer teachers are the sole carriers of information and knowledge. The changing role of Teachers today is more as facilitators that navigat

Redo' as a Tool to Design Education

Image
The art of learning and teaching in architecture, without a ‘redo’ , perhaps is the most improbable preposition; in fact, I believe ‘redo’ is a ritual, which all streams of design courses may have as a mainstay for creativity. Any creative design process begins with looking at a situation from multiple points of view, as there is no single solution or linear approach to design. A teacher who has never used this tool of ‘redo’ in the process of opening the realm of ‘idea generation’ has probably not justified his role on opening the channels of ‘creative thinking’ in the mind of the aspiring student. Edward De Buno in his book ‘lateral thinking’ invites his readers to see beyond the mundane and explore various possibilities which are not visibly clear at once. We in design schools often talk about ‘out of the box’ thinking and ‘innovation’. To innovate in design is the most challenging task. The notion ‘can innovation come from the start itself’ must be questioned. Our start
