ABSTRACT
Paul Ricoeur once remarked that work is the essence of what people do, and
that it ranges from manual labor to contemplation. Drawing is the work of
designers. Whether it is done with a computer or a pencil, drawings are what
we actually make. No matter how much we think of ourselves as builders
and makers, landscape architects like myself almost never actually build or
make anything physical ourselves. Someone else does, and almost always
from our drawings.
