The sketchbook should consists of illustrative and abstractive diagrams, drawings and text. In addition, the drawings should include actual and conceptual design ideas of floor plans, building sections, analysis diagrams and sketches expressing clarity and in-depth investigation of the precedent studies which are strictly hand-drawn and hand written.
