About the Book
This book addresses the question ‘Why draw?’ by examining the various dynamic relationships between media, process, thought and environment.
Highly illustrated, the book brings together authors from the fields of architecture, landscape architecture and art and demonstrates that designing through drawing is fundamentally different from designing on a screen.
