Abstract
With the introduction of computer-aided design tools, students have been drifting away from using manual sketches, drawings, and hands-on modeling experiences as an integral part of their preliminary design process. They abandon the notion of manual work all together to start their designs directly on the screen, a trend that is increasingly becoming popular amongst design students. This workshop focuses on the importance of the “Thinking Hand” in the design process and investigates the impact of the hands-on experience on the designed object. Participants will be actively involved in answering the following question: Should we celebrate this abandonment of the “Thinking Hand” or should it be brought back to our design studios?
