: Where does architectural design begin? In an age obsessed with all things  :
: digital, it's tempting to envision a computerscreen in a paperless studio. :
: While the practical value of computer-aided drafting and photorealistic    :
: modeling areindisputable, but you won't find the soul of architecture in   :
: the machine. Look instead at an architect's drawing hand. Ideas flow onto  :
: the paper through the uniquely human creative collaboration between mind   :
: and eye. Architects Draw, the inaugural volume of our new Architectural    :
: Briefs series, highlights this most fundamental level of speculative       :
: designfreehand drawing. Architects Draw offers a practical and invaluable  :
: way to help students and would-be sketchers translate what they see onto   :
: the page, not as an imitation of reality, but as a comprehensive union of  :
: voids and solids, light and shadows, lines and shapes. For nearly forty    :
: years, revered Cooper Union professor and artist Sue Gussow has taught     :
: aspiring architects of varying abilities how to fully observe and perceive :
: the spaces that make up our physical environment. Gussow skillfully applie :
: architectural language to twenty-one drawing exercises that tackle a       :
: variety of formsfrom peas in a pod to monkeys, skeletons, dinosaur bones,  :
: and the art of Giacometti and Mondrian. She shows, for example, how cut    :
: fruit and paper bags reveal that the physical world is made up of planes,  :
: dimensions, and enclosed space. Architects Draw features examples from     :
: postgraduate architectural practice that explicitly connect drawing to the :
: world of architecture. This unique course provides a solid foundation for  :
: anyone interested in using drawing as a visual language to describe        :
: architecture.                                                              :
