This is an introductory course in free-hand architectural drawing. Its central learning objective is building a capacity for visualizing three-dimensional space through freehand drawing. A parallel objective is fostering visual literacy: the ability to use line and tonal values to represent architectural space. Topics covered are contour drawing, freehand perspective, axonometric projection and tonal drawing in charcoal. The course concludes with a final project conducted jointly with "48-100: Architecture Design Studio - Poiesis Studio I."
