Sorenson, Jr., Professor, School of Architecture, Montana State University, USA 'With the keen sense of the artistic genius, Gorski uninhibitedly and passionately mates hand-drawn architectural drawing with the boundless possibilities of computer generated methods, resourcefully proving what interdisciplinary stands for. With this simple, yet fundamental, credo this volume is a standard reference for all students of architectural representation.' - Sergei Tchoban, Architekt BDA, Germany 'Gilbert Gorski presents an invaluable treatise acknowledging that great architecture is inextricable to a mastery of techné invoked in multiple delineation processes of great design. That is to say, because what we draw is in fact what we build - how we draw becomes a critical modality of aesthetic intelligence implicit to the way by which great design is crafted, evaluated and made. I believe masterful drawing is our most useful tool in building well once again.' - Duncan McRoberts, Principal, Duncan McRoberts Associates, USA, 'Gorski conducts a masterclass in situating digital and analog methods of drawing in this richly illustrated paean to the art of representation in contemporary times. From the scratch of a pen to the click of a mouse, this book teaches not only proven technique but strategic thinking about the new ways of rendering the image. This is a must-have manual for all those wrestling with the transformative role of hand drawing in a digital age.' - Gil Snyder, Department of Architecture, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, USA 'Gilbert Gorski's pioneering work in combining traditional and digital media, elucidated in this timely and important book, places him at the forefront of contemporary visualization.' - Paul Stevenson Oles, FAIA, Principal, Interface Architects, New Mexico, USA 'One of the finest architectural illustrators practicing today, Gilbert Gorski commands an exceptional talent for creating beautiful, powerful, and enlightening images.
