“This sketch is a part of the design development process for a small landscape in India. We use sketching as a medium for connecting with the space, as it gives us a much better sense of scale. All preliminary designs are worked out via sketches. The medium used is black ink on plain A5 paper.” – Location: Basavkalyan, Andhra Pradesh, India.

“This drawing is my own interpretation of the gardens of S.Martinho de Tibães Monastery, one of my favourite places in the North of Portugal. The Monastery was found at the end of the 10th c., although it was in the 17th c. an 18th c. that it reached a particular importance. The garden is composed with sophisticated elements such as an incredible stairway and a beautiful vegetation composition. Its colours and lights are impressive. Along the spaces all your senses are stimulated in a delightful experience that inspires drawing all the time. It is a place full of beauty, mystery and fantasy. An irresistible treasure for the lovers of art.”

The sketch by itself represents part of design process while experimenting with the negative impacts of the design of buildings on their environment. Through sketches I wanted to study energies and intensities of various volumes and to express my thoughts. Technique is simple, the sketch was done on regular white sheet of paper with colored pencils.”

“I made this sketch because I wanted to show how landscape architecture can solve the problem of a modern gateway to a park and also show how my proposition will look like on a paper and not only in my imagination. I wanted to see how my idea fitted in the space of the park and whether it would be practical.” – The drawing was made on B2 paper, I used only pencil – 2b and 8b. 2. by Fred M Tabajonda, Landscape / irrigation designer in Bahrain since 1988, Philppines.
