Drawing<br />
<strong>Landscape</strong>s<br />
Why do we draw? Why and how do landscape architects use<br />
drawings? Why are they so many different representational<br />
techniques? What do they convey? How do they influence<br />
designers’ understandings of the environment?<br />
This course was not a technical course, but an introduction<br />
to and a preparation for future landscape designers.<br />
Students were able to discover and experiment with multiple<br />
representational tools in order to understand the intellectual<br />
processes involved in each of the techniques, as well as how<br />
these build their understanding of the environment and the<br />
message they intend to convey.<br />
<strong>Landscape</strong> architects use drawings in three ways: as<br />
illustrations, as projections, and as dynamic thinking processes.<br />
In order to explore fully the potential, but also the limits, of<br />
each of these uses, the course guided students through the<br />
experience of multiple drawing practices belonging to each of<br />
them.<br />
