Introduction to Freehand Architectural Design

Get to know Héctor López, his professional journey as an architect, why he specialized in drawing, and his main influences.

In the second unit, learn the history of architectural drawing and its different uses throughout time, from sketching to artistic representation. Then, see the materials you are going to use and their characteristics.

Understand the importance of graphically representing a space with accuracy. Try out some observational techniques and learn how to introduce the idea of space in your projects. See how to create a floor plan and get to know the different types of planes and cross-sections.

Héctor teaches you what a facade is, how to draw it using textures, and how to use a vanishing point to achieve architectural perspective.

In the final unit, create a space with customized elements and measurements. Using the techniques learned in the previous units, organize your ideas in a storyboard and draw all the elements needed to complement your space. To conclude, add details like texture and color to your final drawing.
