Abstract
The paper discusses the use of freehand diagrams in architectural design. I t examines the roles of diagrams in various contexts: pedagogical books, de sign studies, designers' introspective accounts and empirical studies of dr awing in design. It offers several examples of thinking with diagrams in de sign and concludes with a discussion of the requirements for computational support for the diagrams in design thinking.
