Bridging Imagination to Reality

  

Creating architecture begins by unrestricted, wild imaginations then they will be hammered by many factors to become realities. Meanwhile there is a grand canyon between the imagination and the reality. This grand canyon can mainly be bridged by a vast variety of drawings dissecting the imagination in numerous layers to crystallize the rough original concept. However the most comprehensive of them all are the preliminary hand drawn sketches that can characterize the soul and spirit of the original concept in a very artistic depiction. Thus far no computer program has been able to catch up with the capabilities of hand drawn sketches since they are powered by the most powerful computer of all time, human mind. They can be very abstract or very realistic depend on what and how the artist wants to express him/herself. The only limitation is the ability of the artist to use and choose from the ocean of possibilities.
