Dynamics in the professional market have transformed how we work and consume; in this process, various professions have had to adapt to new technological trends. Architecture is no exception, and a new type of professional has had to adapt to these new consumption patterns. Office spaces have been redesigned, hierarchies have been flattened, and the creative process has been harmonized with this new reality.

Contemporary culture has applied the notion of curation across many segments—from works in an art exhibition, where the term is frequently used, to literary fairs, fashion festivals, cinema, or gastronomy—to designate the selection of products or objects based on specific criteria or concepts. Recent artistic production, in turn, by expressing contemporary themes and forms through distinct—and often innovative or even provocative—techniques and modes of presentation, makes the work of curation a powerful form of mediation and dialogue with diverse audiences.

Part of the generation of architects who were trained to draw both by hand and with digital tools, Nalina Moses recently returned to hand drawing. Finding it to be direct, pleasurable, and intuitive, she wondered whether other architects felt the same way. Single-Handedly is the result of this inquiry. An inspiring collection of 220 hand drawings by more than forty emerging architects and well-known practitioners from around the world, this book explores the reasons they draw by hand and gives testimony to the continued vitality of hand drawing in architecture. The powerful yet intimate drawings carry larger propositions about materials, space, and construction, and each one stands on its own as a work of art.
