Reviews

The fourteen amply illustrated essays comprising Drawing/Thinking confront a number of still haunting questions about manual drawing's relationship to design and design studies in the age of digital reproduction. Treib...throws down a phenomenological gauntlet, charging readers to stop twittering long enough to take in the world by sketching as if our actually living in it mattered. This will have a time-honoured appeal to anyone who already values drawing, reading or other activities demanding actual sustained concentration... Robert A. Svetz, Journal of Architectural Education
