| summary |
Reading the sketching in design literature gives theimpression that designers are cruelly crippled by cognitive disabilitiesand limitations that can only be surmounted with the aid of externalmemory devices, such as sketches and drawings. Designers are notdisabled so, not in general. Sketching is not an essential aid to memory,as is widely presumed. Sketching is a kind of thinking that is needed indesigning. An argument is presented to support this answer that drawson work by some of the authors who presume sketches to be cognitiveaids. |
