Over at World-Architects is an eMagazine Insight feature I just wrapped up, compiling some sketches after combing through the W-A profiles: "<a href="http://www.world-architects.com/pages/page_item/hand-drawing-age-computers">Hand Drawing in the Age of Computers</a>." <br /><br /><a href="http://www.world-architects.com/pages/page_item/hand-drawing-age-computers"><img alt="Insight13-29-def.png" src="http://www.world-architects.com/img/frontend/pages/2699/600%3Aw/Insight13-29-def.png" title="Hand Drawing in the Age of Computers" /></a><br />[Photo: John Hill/World-Architects]<br /><br />The intro: <br /><blockquote>Inspired by a recent Alvaro Siza lecture, in which the architect traced the design process of one of his buildings through a myriad of ever-more-refined sketches, we've combed through the profiles on World-Architects to find sketches and other hand drawings—not an easy feat, considering the ubiquity of CAD drawings, computer renderings, and photographs for documenting projects. Nevertheless we've compiled a rich sampling of drawings to illustrate the value—even necessity—of hand drawings in the age of computers.</blockquote>
