Me ha parecido muy poco útil. No puedes decir que un curso es de dibujo arquitectónico y no explicar absolutamente nada de dibujo ni de arquitectura. Todo el rato conceptos etéreos y vacíos. Poca (o nada) de técnica o de práctica.
He tomado muchos cursos aquí y este en especial no me gustó. Los recursos adicionales llevan a páginas que ya no existen, la cámara se mueve mucho y marea, no permite ver el proceso bien, creo que a veces el camarógrafo quiere tener demasiado protagonismo. Y finalmente el croquis que eligió esperaba que fuera algo más creativo y complejo como los que el hace en su trabajo.
Gracias!
Excelente explicación de cómo materializar ideas por medio de bocetos arquitectónicos.
