The architecture industry has changed tremendously in the way it has operated over the last 100 years. From hand drafted documents, to the development of CAD technologies and the plethora of 3D modelling software, architecture continues to embrace new systems to improve the delivery of projects. However, despite the incredible advancement in architectural technologies the architect's sketch has not lost its relevancy in the industry and continues to be a great tool in communicating design thoughts and flushing out ideas.
