Abstract
The use of sketching amongst architects contributes significant benefits in the creation of creative and professional projects. Sketching offers a simple method of conveying ideas to an audience, without a large time commitment. As a result, architects can prototype designs rapidly, exploring many patterns while receiving feedback on their work. Sketching influences the design process by allowing the designer to work more creatively and effectively through quick, numerous iterations. The use of sketching in architectural design interfaces has only increased the flexibility and possible designs for users. However, variation in human input increases the difficulty to accurately recognize the intent of the user. Traditional methods of interacting with architectural design interfaces rely on creation of fixed sized primitives. When interacting with such systems, design options feel more limited.
