Reliance on computers to aid our 3-D visualization has come at a cost.
The eye-hand connection of a hand-drawn perspective developed a comprehension
of three dimensional space which gave designers
and architects tools to work with complexities- which are
missing from drafting plans and elevations.
3-D computer programs enable a computer to explain the space to the technicion-
but the computer has no creativity, experiences no "AHA"...
can a computer visualize?
Should the "aha" not happen in the human's brain?
Manipulating 3-D space while conceptualizing a design allows the process
to focus on the big picture, which enables
the design of a whole greater than the sum of the parts.
We don't just think with our brains- intelligence can be kinesthetic-
utilizing our own movement develops our understanding of space,
and designing with the abreviated movement of keyboard strokes and
mouse clicks minimizes that potential.
