During the past three decades, researchers have studied the characteristics of sketching to understand its different concepts and dimensions. This research aims to fill that gap by systematically reviewing the literature on sketching investigated in architecture, with a focus on the factors influencing sketching practices through a comprehensive analysis of thirty-three articles and book chapters. This study focuses on three main keywords (sketch, design, and architectural education), analyzing research published in the Scopus database from 1997 to 2024, a period of increasing interest in sketch-related research. Using the PRISMA framework and NVivo software, this study conducts a systematic review and qualitative analysis to synthesize existing knowledge on the role of sketches in design studios. The findings highlight the pedagogical value of sketching in architectural education, providing insights for educators and researchers seeking to enhance design teaching methodologies and future research directions.}, number={2}, publisher={Kocaeli Üniversitesi}
