This book explores computation, specifically the craft of writing
computer code, as a medium for drawing. Exercises, essays,
algorithms, diagrams and drawings are woven together to offer
instruction, insight and theories that are valuable to practising
architects, artists and scholars. This book can serve as a primer
for those new to programming or motivation and context for those
with experience. 'Computing' and 'drawing' are both deeply
historical and loaded terms. Although digital media is often
positioned in opposition to the 'manual' act of drawing, the
broader territory of 'computing' includes matters of language,
rules, procedures and orders that are very much compatible with the
presence of ink on paper. Indeed, the nature of drawing - a
temporal medium governed by marks that can be precisely defined,
but not easily edited - provides welcome structure for
computational methods.
