Computers may make our working lives easier and more productive, but has the quality of our output suffered as a result?

Author of DesignThinkingDrawing, Peter Richards, is an advocate of freehand drawing when it comes to transferring ideas into a design that others will understand. Computers can help a designer to produce intricately detailed drawings, but these often lack the design thought - the thinking while drawing - that comes from the manual act of producing a design by hand. It is through drawing that the designer is able to record and shape a design through its various evolutions from initial sketch to final design.

Peter has been involved in urban design for more than 35 years as an architect, company director, teacher and workshop collaborator. In this book, he guides readers through the design process, shares the principles around design, thinking and drawing and includes simple drawing techniques; a range of exercises; and examples of his own drawings. This book is a basis on which both professionals and students can further their skills. It is also a reminder of how powerful the skill of drawing is in the design process.

Industry Reviews

Peter Richards understands that drawing is so much more than a way of making pictures and illustrating things: it's a way of seeing deeply, and understanding the places in which we live. If we just did what Peter suggests in his book, the world would be a far more delightful place.
