    • Summary:This compendium of projects, writings and interviews focuses on how the field of drawing expands synchronously alongside technological and computational developments. This book critically reassess the act of drawing and where its future may lie. Bringing together practitioners from many creative fields, the book discusses how drawing is changing in relation to new technologies for the production and dissemination of ideas. Drawings seduce, and the drawings in this book are tantalising evidence of this. Yet the aim of the book is to illustrate how drawing works as an abundantly rich, diverse, inventive, critical and serious research domain. In this regard, it is a study of the point and promise of drawing; which both explores the microscopic detail of the craft and envisions the radical possibilities inherent in its expression. The academics, artists and architects whose work lies within conceive of drawing as a rigorous, liberating form of expression.
