Architects are holding in their hands a powerful design tool…. their sketches.
The “conscious inspiration Method” Encourages architects to develop design tools that match their skills and desire.
Here is an intriguing example….
A leading architect, Rem KoolHaas ,adopts Mendelson’s (1887 -1953) Expressionist sketches and use them as a powerful design tool .

“Conscious Inspiration” the ultimate inspiration methodology
I invite you all to contribute in developing the attitude and tools towards the viability of the “Conscious Inspiration” Method.
The abundance of information in the Web affects us all, as I illustrate in my posts.
I believe that designing is a process formed from three main phases:knowledge, tools and invention.
“Knowledge”: as many said, and wrote before – Knowledge is the foundation for all designing process. We architects and designers are obliged to be informed about everything that was designed in the past and on a daily basis….
“Tools”: develop tools to analyze buildings and “Understand” them,tools that will cope with the abundance of architectural information…tools that encourage your planning process….tools matching your skills and generating your creative process….
(You are invited to visit earlier posts of mine showing leading architects tools…. )
“Invention”: with the methodology of “conscious Inspiration” , we don’t need to be intimidated to get inspired from relevant buildings. Once we develop our tools, it will lead us to high quality and creative architecture.
