Reviews

'Throughout my academic and professional career I have championed analogue methods as being integral to the creative process. In her latest volume Nadia Amoroso supports what I have been professing for the past thirty years-that drawing and modeling by hand is the most accessible and sustainable form of landscape representation. Thankfully, the dire predictions that digital technologies would replace or eliminate analogue practices have been proven incorrect. I continue to believe in the power of the hand and the heart; this text is a confirmation of that faith. In chapter after chapter, contributors describe innovative techniques and sophisticated pedagogies as well as provide exemplary approaches to using analogue tools for recording and documenting the landscape. Representing Landscapes: Analogue is sure to become the keystone for future generations of designers who will bravely carry forth the torch that a few of us struggled to keep lit.'
