do the drawings and you win

"Do the drawings and you win"
is a quote by Mark Brearley, former head of Design for London, in a lecture he gave at UEL last year, on how to get your ideas across and get ahead. Drawings and visual images are how architects communicate, here are some examples for built projects and more conceptual visions.
