Highlights the work of key contemporary figures who have, through their drawn work, affected the course of architectural thinking. This series of essays broadly charts the forward movement and expansion of drawing iconography, techniques and methodologies, moving from such conditions as Victorian romanticism; Modernist heroics, Minimalism, Diagrams, the representation (and inspiration) of movement, technology and motive power; through to notions and examples of digital automatism. In this way, the advent and challenge of computer-based drawing vis-a-vis 'sketching' or technique based drawing will be argued as a natural progression rather than a radical explosion.
