Color Drawing for Architects and Designers
Design drawing skills and techniques for architects, landscape architects, and interior designers. This video will give practical advice on how to create color drawings for architecture and design. From quick sketches to finished renderings its essential for architects and designers to have a variety of techniques for drawing.
"Here is the golden rule… With color you accentuate, you classify, you disentangle. With black you get stuck in the mud and you are lost. Always say to yourself; drawings must be easy to read. Color will come to your rescue." - Le Corbusier

The definition of architecture is - "Architecture is what architects design." Whatever that is. Then we must ask; "What is it architects design?" The reason architecture is such an interesting field of study is because so many things are being designed at the same time. We may call these design elements or design products.

    The funny thing is that modernist architecture became less functional than traditional buildings. All the weird angles and shapes in modernist architecture arent very functional. So indeed traditional architecture is the most functional. Because it first designs a functional shape and on top of it just adds ornaments. But the core of traditional architecture still is just a very functional shape with some ornaments added on to it.

    At the moment, hand drawing is the cheapest and quickest option when talking to the client. Not even artificial intelligence can, for the time being, surpass it. To interpret what the client wants, you need a person behind the monitor with directions. Yes, I could give you more options, but the '' la prima idea'' is the basis and can only be achieved through sketches and notes. Then you would have to use some other medium to facilitate the process or for the client to understand it.

    Always nice when you upload! I'm not an architect (graphic designer with a penchant for architecture and urbanism in my free time) but I too appreciate sketchbooks (much less messy than loose paper). As far as media I like my waterproof ink in conjunction with gouache and watercolour pencils. Also Blender, as far as software goes.

  • @deezynar
    @deezynar 25 днів тому

    I appreciate that you are making these videos with the idea to help novice designers understand Wright's methods. This video provides a good introduction to Wright's basic kit of geometric tools. I have read extensively about Wright for decades and I have concluded that the geometry that Wright employed definitely has value for architectural designers. But the 19th century philosophy he attached to it is worthless rubbish. The two are not related except, perhaps, in the minds of Sullivan, and Wright. And they got it from earlier authors who lived at a time when people were heavily interested in spiritual matters while they were rejecting Christianity. So, keep in mind that the philosophy was a crutch for people who walked away from their church upbringing but were still in need of some spiritual framework to hang their worldview on. The biggest problem with studying books on Wright is that all the authors regurgitate the philosophical sounding gibberish that Wright spewed. It may have had some meaning to Wright, but it doesn't translate into any usable information for anyone else. And thinking about humanity's command over nature doesn't help you when you are struggling to come up with a plan, elevations, and sections, that are functional and beautiful. I'm not even sure that it meant anything to Wright either as far as design is concerned. It's very possible that he realized that Sullivan's gibberish was a good screen to keep his actual methods hidden from his competitors. It also had the benefit of dazzling potential, soft headed, clients with mystical sounding claptrap. The other time-wasting hurdle in studying Wright that stuffs every book on his work is his personal history. It always takes up far too much space and offers far too little help to designers. His personal life had a bearing on shifting his job opportunities, and that impacted what he was able to implement in his designs; but overall, being familiar with his sordid life is a burden rather than an aid to other designers. Wright was almost certainly a narcissist, and possibly a sociopath to some degree. "The Fellowship" is an extremely well researched and footnoted book that goes quite in depth on Wright's selfish and morally questionable life. Anyone who doesn't feel dirty from reading that book has character problems of their own. Nobody should look to Wright for moral guidance. Geometry is a tool that Wright used extensively and skillfully, but like all other architects, it is only one tool out of dozens that need to be employed. If you want to understand Wright's work, the best place to start is with his particular use of geometry.

    • @robertsarchitecture
      @robertsarchitecture 21 день тому

      I agree mostly, but you have to understand history to know why Sullivan and Wright were so philosophical about their work. The Industrial Revolution was destroying arts and crafts, architecture, and the way of life of millions of people. Like the Arts and Crafts movement, Sullivan and Wright sought to affirm humanism and art in their work against mass production and the inhumanity of the machine. The humanism of the Enlightenment was being replaced with mass production and the inhumanity of factory life. They believed in an alternate "Modern" architecture, one based on humanism, freedom, and natural processes. Unfortunately, this philosophy was overwhelmed by history and 'Corporate Modernism' post-WWII made these ideas obsolete.

    • @deezynar
      @deezynar 21 день тому

      The philosophy I referred to in my original comment was not of Ruskin's origin. I was speaking of transcendentalism, or whatever interpretation of it that Wright bought into. Wright copied limited aspects from Arts & Crafts furniture and architecture, but Wright did not believe in the main idea of the movement, that machines and mass production are bad. Wright certainly didn't believe they were going to die out just because Ruskin and Morris screamed that hand craftsmanship was morally superior, and better for the common man. Wright supported mass production, and gave a public speech in 1901 at Hull House in which he clearly expressed that machines were good if used to make things that are well designed. He promoted his designs, of course, which was his habit. Wright, as you know, designed houses that were supposed to be mass produced. Thinking about his own work spread across the land must have thrilled the egomaniac more than anything. That dream needed machines to come true. As you can see, I laugh at Wright because of his arrogance and selfishness, but I respect his clear thinking that machines are valuable tools, and mass production is essential for making products that are affordable to normal people. His experience with the failed mass production of houses taught him that hand work was also not going away. Mass produced concrete blocks were going to continue to be laid by individual men on building sites. We need to have a few academics around who understand Wright's self-promoting clap trap, but current design practitioners don't need to get bogged down in the unimportant details of humanism, transcendentalism, or other ideas that are not directly related to design. The only high-level philosophical concept that designers need to grasp is that they have a legal obligation to serve their client as well as they can.
