Sketches and Their Functions in Early Design – A Retrospective Analysis of a Pavilion House

We performed a case study of the design of a house to investigate the underlying reference systems of design transformation. In the collection of sketches we examined we found that the type of drawing could often be identified by a combination of drawing style, projection type, and key elements found in the drawing. Our study presents the collection of design drawings made by the architect, and an analysis of the relationships among the drawings.
