De l’art et de l’utilité de l’esquisse comme outil fondamental dans le processus de création
A medium for negotiation and renegotiation, the sketch is a loose tool, used to restlessly search for the ideas that we do not yet know
To draw with uncertainty in order to uncover, finding more, is to sketch. The technique of intuition gently guides the hand in its pursuit of representation, adjusting observations and thoughts as it brushes over the surface. Insecure marks make room for discovery, for negotiating what it is that a project, a building, an idea is about. In a universe of architectural criticism that deals in the polished reflections of projects, excavating these sketches, understanding them as the nascence of the building or an architectural thesis, comes close to revealing the beliefs of those making work today.

Below is work from Collectif Encore, Julian Lewis, David Kohn, Sou Fujimoto, Elizabeth Hatz and Dan Jessen
