Hand drawing is how I think, and this dissertation made that explicit. It compared the structural technologies of several historical structures through hand-drawn axonometric sketches, to understand how contextual differences — material, climate, skill, geography — shaped structural efficiency in the Roman world.
The work was awarded a first class and a Writing Award at the University of Kent. More than an academic exercise, it set a habit that still governs every project: test the idea by hand, on paper, long before it reaches a screen.
