Drawing Out The Interior ... is easily one of the best academic books of its kind. Ro Spankie's book is beautifully structured and written with the right balance between text and image to engage the reader visually and intellectually. This book will, in my view, be a big hit with students but ... also ... an even bigger hit in the realm of professional practice. -- Ed Hollis * Big Stone Collective Blog, 21 September 2011 *
Accessible for first year students while still interesting for second and third year. Some great examples of how designers use drawing not only as a visualisation tool but also as a design tool. The book can be used as a textbook for specific workshops as well as a great reference book for students to understand the different ways of communicating their design intent. * Valerie Mace, London College of Communicatrion, UK *
I love this range, always clear and very student friendly. * Sue Martin, Basingstoke College of Technology, UK *
I found it lively, stimulating and informative on the role of drawing within the design process. Page layout was well structured and the text covered a wide range of relevant commentary about the importance of drawing in all contexts. * Werner Richter, University Campus Suffolk, UK *
Provides an interesting perspective on the drawing of interiors ... Like the rest of the Basics range, it's well presented and the layout is good. * Donna Stephens, Plymouth College of Art, UK *
Useful and relevant. Easy to navigate and understand. * Michele Thompson, Bishop Burton College, UK *
This is useful for students interested in developing woth for their portfolio for spatial design-related HE courses. Well structured with useful visual examples of different drawing styles to choose from and explanations of when they would be relevant. * Sarah Britten-Jones, Thames Valley University, UK *
Great book! * Luben Dimcheff , Parsons, The New School for Design, USA *
This is a lively little book which redresses the importance of drawn imagery, in its myriad forms, to the process of designing. The format and imagery is well suited to the design student seeking to find new devices to support their design communication. * Werner Richter, University Campus Suffolk, UK *
