But is It Art?

Images of CAD(US$49) is a coffee-table style book published by Nemetschek North America. Its 200 pages celebrate computer-aided design as an art form through 2D drawings, wireframes, renderings, and photographs of finished projects in 23 countries and six languages.

CEO Richard Diehl says, "Some of the greatest architects and designers we have known used pencil and
parchment, and their drawings are showcased in museums as works of art. Now we're seeing computer-generated designs grace the walls of some contemporary art museums."

You can download 19 sample pages from here (2.4MB).

(I've always thought that some of the mechanical drawings hand-drafted by my dad count as art.)
