Freehand sketching offers students of any discipline the opportunity to practice careful observation and build awareness and three-dimensional thinking skills. While sketching is a natural activity for architecture students, it can be introduced more broadly into courses where students are investigating the built environment through place-based learning. Below are examples of both class sketching in building science courses, a architectural history course, and a interdisciplinary course over a number of semesters.
