From models to drawings: Critical studies in Architectural Humanities

In our ever increasing digital age, the use of computer aided design has, in many respects given traditional drawing and presentational techniques the back-seat.  With BIM and CAD claiming to present innovative development in design representation, market driven and technologically biased methodologies, by which architectural graphics are conceived, are edging further and further away from individuals sensory experience of a place. “…images that do not aim to emulate the human phenomenology of perception”. Hence the productions of digital representations only show realistic interpretations of a possible space or environment.
