"I draw like other people bite their nails."
-- Pablo Picasso (source)
Every architectural student seems to know how to use Sketchup in this age of information technology. I wonder have the rules changed; I mean do architects really need to know how to draw nowadays? Many older generation architects will tell us that drawing skills is an essential prerequisite for being an architect in those days. Do those views still hold true today? What if you can’t draw? No worries, some architects can’t draw either but they have their mouth to do the “selling”.
What I am afraid is that one-day architects will become a dying breed, just like the fate of the Neanderthals species. The fact that Neanderthals went extinct is that they did not develop artistic skills unlike their ancient relatives, the Cro-Magnons whose artistic expressions were so eloquently shown in the numerous cave paintings uncovered in Dordogne, France.
I guess it’s time for me to brush up my doodling skills.
