Drawing is defined as a verb: a matter of time and duration. Drawings are inhabited, present, and embodied-redefining how space is measured, represented, and understood. Through case studies and examples, the authors examine diverse approaches to architectural drawing, including motion-capture and immersive technologies, analogue and digital methods of scanning, and gestural drawing. They highlight how drawing can be inhabited by both the drawer and the viewer, offering a dynamic, immersive experience. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Crucially, this book reinstates drawing as a spatial, temporal, and bodily act. It reframes the role of scaled artefacts-models, maps, and drawings-as intermediaries that mobilise architectural thinking. Rather than treating the body as a static reference point, it explores how moving, thinking bodies generate and reside within drawings. This is essential reading for students, practitioners, and researchers in architecture and spatial design seeking to rethink drawing as a performative and conceptual tool\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDr Carl Douglas \u003c\/b\u003eis a senior lecturer in Spatial Design at Auckland University of Technology, New Zealand.
