The transition from traditional hand drafting to digital tools like AutoCAD and Revit has undoubtedly brought about significant changes in the field of architecture. While these software platforms offer efficiency and precision, there’s an unintended consequence: a generation of new architects who lack the fundamental skills of detailing and a deep understanding of what they’re designing. With the ease of drawing lines and shapes on a computer screen, some emerging architects might overlook the essential aspects of architectural craftsmanship, such as proportion, scale, and tactile feedback. Without the hands-on experience of physically drawing and refining their designs, many architects may find themselves disconnected from the very structures they create, potentially compromising the quality and integrity of their work. Balancing the advantages of technology with the invaluable knowledge of traditional methods becomes crucial in preserving the art and soul of architecture.
