Why do architects draw? The obvious response is that it is the most immediate way to formalize what does not exist. The drawing allows us to represent and analyze any pre-existing element, in addition to encourage experimental processes that lead to the project. The way to addresses these speculative drawings is as personal as the project itself. The key of the narrative is in the genesis. When this type of process is developed on a sketchbook, the order of the pages enables a consecutive reading of the story line. Observed as a whole, the sketchbook work as a procedural manual of the creative thinking for the architect. It is very rare that its content is made public, since it keeps the “guts” of the design thinking. This article makes a review of the most significant sketchbooks in history, focusing on those that display a particularly speculative development. Converted into cult objects, the dissemination of these architects’ sketchbooks, has become mainstream, claiming their suitability in all fields of architecture, including professional and academic fields.
