《From Hand-Drawn Freedom to Future Imagination》
Exploring Endless Urban Possibilities Through Sketching
從手繪的創造與自由到對未來的想像
透過手繪探索無盡的城市可能
Since ancient times, a single pencil and a blank sheet of paper have been the most powerful tools in the hands of an architect.
With lines, they transform fleeting spatial ideas into tangible forms. This is not merely a demonstration of technique, but an extension of thought a process of inquiry and discovery toward the unknown.
Sketching is never just about "drawing something for others to see," but rather about "drawing something to help ourselves think."
自古以來，一支筆、一張紙，便是建築師手中最強大的武器。
他們用線條將腦海中飄渺的空間靈感化為具體可見的形象。這不僅是一種技藝的展現，也是思維的延伸，和對未知的探索與推敲的過程。它從來不只是「畫出來給別人看」，而是「畫出来讓自己想」。
Ville Radieuse，Le Corbusier
When we trace the curves of a street, the edge of a plaza, or the outline of a building on paper, every line carries a deeper meaning.
These seemingly simple strokes are in fact profound questions about the future of cities: What could our city become? And what should it become?
當我們在紙上勾勒街道的曲線、廣場的邊界與建築的輪廓時，每一條線都承載著更深層的意義。
這些看似簡單的筆觸，實際上是對城市未來的深刻提問：
我們的城市可以長成什麼樣子？ 又應該成為什麼樣子？
As architect Peter Cook once said: drawing is the most direct and pure way to express architectural visions. It allows us to break free from the constraints of reality and reimagine urban forms beyond what exists unlocking visions never seen before.
正如建築大師彼得·庫克（Peter Cook）所言: 繪畫是表達建築願景最直接、最純粹的方式。它能夠跳脫現實的枷鎖，突破既有城市形態的限制，為我們開闢出前所未見的可能性。

The pencil era was one that embraced imperfection.
Lines might wobble from an unsteady hand, and proportions might bend to intuition rather than precision. Yet it is exactly these imperfections that give space for imagination to roam freely.
鉛筆的時代，是一個擁抱「不完美」的時代。
線條或許會因為手的顫抖而略顯粗糙，比例可能因為直覺而不盡精確，但正是這些「不完美」，為想像力留下了恣意揮灑的空間。

Perhaps we no longer need to treat hand drawing and digital design as opposites, but instead see them as complementary forces.
In the early stages of design, let sketching lead us with freedom and instinct to explore endless possibilities. In later stages, let digital tools bring precision and efficiency to help realize those dreams.
或許，我們無需將手繪與數位設計視為對立的兩極，而是讓兩者和諧共生:在設計的初期，讓手繪的自由與直覺引領我們探索無限的可能；在設計深化的階段，則借助數位工具的精準與高效，將夢想落地成真。

如此一來，我們在追求效率與精密的同時，也能保留建築設計中最珍貴的藝術靈魂、人文溫度，以及那份源自童年畫筆的無限想像。
在這個快速變遷的時代，讓我們不要忘記：最動人的建築，往往誕生於最簡單的一筆一劃之間。
In this way, while we pursue productivity and technical excellence, we also preserve what is most precious in architectural design: the artistic soul, the human warmth, and the childlike wonder born from a simple stroke of the pen.
In this fast-moving world, let us not forget—
some of the most moving architecture begins with the simplest of lines.
