Blind Drawing is an exercise based in phenomenological and experiential pedagogy that I teach to students in architecture design studios. The exercise is to draw blindfolded with charcoal and dry pastel on large sheets of paper using a guided conversation to evoke sensory experiences and abstract thought. It is a transformative exercise that changes students' perceptions of drawing, image-making, representation of concepts, and offers a performative alternative to architecture design Studio. Hand-drawing, for architects, is an essential skill which is rapidly being lost to a ‘perfected’ digitised practice. By removing outward-looking visual connections turns the students' attention to inward perception and the imagination. These poetic drawings are embodied energy drawn out from the subconscious. This style of blind drawing is a disruption of perfectionism and establishes a physical approach for the design Studio by breaking through the fear of mark making and the intellectual self-criticality of ‘getting it right’.
