Resumen
This research aims to capture the nuanced perspectives of educators on the importance and application of freehand drawing within contemporary design curricula around Madrid. As the design world increasingly leans towards digital methods, this paper critically examines the implications of this transition for student learning, creativity, and their ability to solve design problems effectively. It investigates the complexities and educational challenges in embedding this traditional skill into a curriculum that is becoming increasingly more digitally oriented. By analyzing the experiences and views of educators who have navigated the shift from traditional to digital-focused design, this paper explores the current state of freehand sketching within the context of contemporary design and architecture education. It explores the generational differences, teaching challenges, and evolving perceptions regarding its role in the creative process. This paper aims to contribute to the ongoing discourse on how design education can maintain a balance between embracing innovative technologies and preserving the foundational skills essential to creative discovery.
