This paper analyzes the use of computer graphics and hand drawings in landscape architecture design courses in universities across the country and the reasons. "Comfort" was the most common reason for hand-drawn respondents, while computer graphics respondents chose "time saving" as the reason. Most computer graphics respondents draw some hand-drawn drawings before completing the final design. The hand-drawn respondents will not use the computer to draw part of the drawings before completing the final design draft. The number of drawings between hand-drawn or computer-drawn respondents was equal at different stages of the design process, meaning both types of respondents still followed the same design process. Most of respondents who use the software find it very useful and helpful to improve the overall design quality.
