2.4 Conclusion

Designers, therefore, can be defined as those who use drawing to perceive art; to perceive design. Design is the thinking and drawing is the medium to transfer the thought from the mind to the hand to the paper. Designing is to create and develop new ideas and drawing is the creative act of that discovery.34

Sketch drawn by Mackintosh with a drawing technique developed by sketching existing buildings. (Material: pencil). Glasgow University: Mackintosh Collection. 1905

Mackintosh carefully composes his drawings. In this sketch of a barn in Suffolk he superimposes elevations, details and perspective views both to inform the viewer and enliven the page.35
