#DeConcentratePoverty

WORKING ANALOG: Earlier in the semester, our studio director John Folan assigned a stipulation that we were to only work through hand drawing/sketching/modeling. I think the lessons I learned during that week were very important. This is a shot of the UDBS studio after that week. Stepping away from the computer and working through physical models and sketches allowed us to think and explore ideas more fluidly and rapidly for the RE_CON 01 project. Analog work often has less precision than digital work; however, it is that lack of precision that frees one up to create and think through drawing more naturally. This is a lesson that we have carried with us since that experience. We are continuing to learn the importance of knowing what type of medium to use at a given point in the design process in order to help make decisions. As Yoon talked about in his earlier post, drawing is a tool.
