Architectural Sketches

Sketches have different purposes. Sometimes, they're just to get an image out of your mind. Others to figure solutions out. But many times, sketches are made to improve. That's one of the reasons why they're made in Architecture. Those kinds of sketches are called "Referential Sketches". They're drawn to remember where you've been, what you've seen and what you payed attention to the most. These kinds of sketches then lead into what's called "Preparatory Study". It's sketching and tracing to revise and refine the designs. As your drawing ad refining, you're creating and improving the "interactions of our minds, eyes and hands." They create connections between ideas that hadn't been seen. 

They have the tendency to allow room for improvement from the first ideas.  They give and show how much the architect's ideas have flourished through out the project. Showing their mental growth such as their imaginative and creative side. They made notes to the side on things to add and things to remove. It was a really, really rough idea before creating all the models and floor plans of the plans they did.
