Abstract

It presents drawing as a pedagogical tool in architectural education to further contribute to the deepening of student comprehension on architectural theory, vocabulary building, facilitation of the design process, and architecture analysis. The study examines the question of whether architectural education can be improved with drawing, comparing its efficiency with other teaching methods. Through a qualitative methodology employing case studies and classroom observation, the research identifies five core areas where drawing has an impact on learning-areas that include understanding architectural theory, building architectural vocabulary, facilitating design processes, enabling architectural analysis, and the comparative effectiveness of drawing versus traditional teaching methods. The findings indicate that drawing encourages deeper engagement with the theoretical content, helps to develop vocabulary, improves iterative design thinking, enhances analytical precision, and is even more effective than traditional teaching methods in engaging students. This study concludes that drawing is an essential tool for the enrichment of architectural education; it provides students with better understanding of the subject matter and contributes to the well-rounded development of an architectural professional.
