One of the most challenging tasks of designing in the computer is drawing with words and symbols.
Drawing by hand allows one to enter a whole new world free to create become one with the drawing tool, drawing surface and creative thoughts.
Its truly amazingly wonderful place where time stops and ideas flow!
Using the computer interface is so disjointed and obtuse. The constant jumping between words regarding digital data, organizational metrics, categorizing elements, capturing logic, establishing rules, naming geometry, and calculating units. It feels like every other moment is a leap out of the creative design world into a computer programming structured zone.
Design software needs to fade into the background, be silent.
Give design the stage back, let the lines and geometry be the actors on the canvas.
Technology has hijacked the essence of design for the sake of re-usability.
Challenge is that very little if anything at all ever gets re-used!
It’s always off to the next design idea.
The most fascinating aspect of architecture is that every design opportunity is new!
