Summary:

The drawings of the students and faculty of the University of Miami shown in this volume, says Vincent Scully, are "much the most beautiful being produced by any school of architecture at the present time. They can be enjoyed as works of art in their own right. They have also played a central part in re-creating a kind of architecture long lost and much needed today." Drawing and painting in many media are fundamental to the teaching of the school.
They have been developed in special ways by faculty and students working together to shape the new urbanism for which the school is already famous. Realistic and precise documentary drawings and fantastic composite drawings, along with creative projects for buildings, gardens, and new towns, are presented in this unique collection.
