The shift from hand drawing to Computer-Aided-Design in the past decades made architectural design and construction more efficient. Yet it’s questionable whether our built environments have gotten more beautiful as a result.
Drawing by hand involves a fluid, intuitive process. It is more natural to draw curves, details, imperfections. Traditional construction methods are also more intuitive, responding to the conditions on-site. By contrast, CAD and modern construction allow for precision and incentivize mechanic repetition.
Generative technologies have the potential to help us reintroduce some of these lost sensibilities in new ways.
