| Abstract: | A new book by Brian McGrath and Jean Gardner questions preconceptions of the digital. Previously, working with computers has often been regarded as a simple matter of acquiring technical facility in particular software and techniques. Cinemetrics: Architectural Drawing Today argues that the full potential of digital lies not in technical finesse, but in a perceptual paradigm shift. This shift could be as seismic as the changes associated with the development of perspective in the early Renaissance. Here, McGrath and Gardner provide an FAQ on their innovative new drawing system, Cinemetrics. Inspired by cinema's visual treatment of matter-flux, this book is set to recast architectural drawing for the 21st century. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. |
