Minimizing the scaffolding for quicker sketching

- Now that we've walked through several examples of constructing simple cubic forms, as well as transforming others using the scaffolding method, it's time to begin simplifying our process to increase speed. In this movie we'll explore a process that's streamlines the scaffolding method by placing only the necessary projection lines and reference geometry required for you to see structure on the page. This should assist you in making the necessary decisions for you to begin building form faster and with less effort. Rapid ideation sketching is about quick decision making. It's also about intuitive decision making. As the system and methods become ingrained, the ability to make smarter and better decisions should follow. The behavioral economist Daniel Kahneman, author of the book Fast and Slow Thinking, refers to this as system one thinking. In any skill, once the methods and rules have been truly internalized, we think less about them. The same needs to happen for sketching. If we're…
