Birkhauser Press has released an expanded 2nd edition of the book, Drawn to Design: Analyzing Architecture through Freehand Drawing by Eric Jenkins MDes ’99. The book examines research in fields outside of architecture–such as the cognitive sciences and physiology–to understand how sketching fosters design thinking. The new edition explores sketching in contemporary architectural practice: Eric interviewed principals, associates and entry-level architects from Architectural Record’s top twenty-five firms in North America to help understand the continuing and evolving role of sketching in 21st century design.
