Architectural structure & design; Landscape art & architecture; Gardens (descriptions, history etc)

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.

Reviews for Drawing/Thinking: Confronting an Electronic Age

The fourteen amply illustrated essays comprising Drawing/Thinking confront a number of still haunting questions about manual drawing's relationship to design and design studies in the age of digital reproduction. Treib...throws down a phenomenological gauntlet, charging readers to stop twittering long enough to take in the world by sketching as if our actually living in it mattered. This will have a time-honoured appeal to anyone who already values drawing, reading or other activities demanding actual sustained concentration... Robert A. Svetz, Journal of Architectural Education
