Daniels Faculty of Architecture, Landscape, and Design</a>. Archinect connected with Ying to learn more about her final project and its focus on architectural drawings' power. According to Ying, "digital design culture places great importance in the design process for emerging architects; our method of generating new possibilities in architecture depends on how we are using our digital design tools. Yet, drawing remains the primary instrument to realize our imagination into reality, a form to express our visual thought in the process."</p> <p>Ying talks of her process behind her thesis project, <em>Reading Between the Lines</em>, and her inspiration to explore line drawing geometries due to Giovanni Battista Piranesi and his <em>Carceri </em>drawing series. Ying also shares her thoughts on what she hopes the future will bring as a recent graduate during the pandemic.</p> <p><strong><a href="https://archinect.com/features/tag/1582910/2020-thesis" target="_blank">Archinect's Spotlight on 2020 Thesis Projects</a></strong>:&nbsp;<em>2020 has been an ex...</em></p>
