Stroke 1 - Drawing by hand, or maybe not.



In this first stroke I will address the design by hand, the technique we used to give initial shape to our ideas, but not normally used in the presentation of a project developed further.

Here I bring the drawings of a micro-house, such as a "smart fortwo" resulting from the recovery of a stone rural ruin.


Normally, the plan would be done in a rigorous design CAD, something like this:


But, if the presentation had a hand drawing aspect, this allows a feeling more in line with the rurality of the project, as well as a more human aspect, less mechanical:


Still, due the small size of the house, this design turns out to have an aspect too simple, they are only "some scratch" for any client that does not transmit the effort involved in developing the solution.
However, just add three-dimensionality to the design for this to win other life and facilitate the perception by the customer, almost by magic, the reduced space is multiplied:


If we want to further facilitate the perception of space, just add a small splash of color and the depth wins the subject:


Who knew it was so easy to draw by hand, without pencil or paper.
