Reviews

'Michael Welton's deeply researched and thoughtfully composed book brings us inside the work and process of the nation's esteemed architects. It is a powerful reminder of all the humanity that goes into the art, beyond the science and the mathematics and even the beauty. Through the architects' drawings and words, we experience a rare intimacy.' - Lynn Medford, Editor, Washington Post Magazine, USA 'A must-read for architects and architecture enthusiasts alike, Drawing From Practice offers an unprecedented look at the creative processes of some the most influential figures that shape our world - and the sketches that guide their work. The drawings presented feel intimate, the sources tapped reveal a wealth of knowledge, and J. Michael Welton's writing, as always, is complex enough for experts while remaining accessible for casual fans of architecture.' - Amanda Koellner, managing editor of Design Bureau Magazine
