Architects Draw includes more than twenty exercises that explore the most unexpected subjects to train the architect's eye, hand, and mind - bell peppers and seashells as housing; paper bags to reveal architectural planes; shoes to define volume and void; frames and windows to consider problems of measurement and scale; and trees to explore gesture and the interpenetration of form and space - and is illustrated with more than two hundred inspirational student drawings and examples from postgraduate architectural practices. Architects Draw offers a clear, practical, and invaluable guide to access the classroom teachings that Gussow has developed throughout her career and made her a legend in the field.
