The best way to start a design is with one drawing of something unique.

When I start I don’t know if its beams or walls or trusses or tensile fabric. I don’t know where the water comes from. I don’t know where it goes because I don’t know the shapes of things. Don’t know the form of the whole.

Sometimes computers are appropriate to the work. Sometimes they are not. I started learning CAD in 1989. My understanding of the work is different now.
