Human communication and ecological accountability are inextricably linked in architectural design; our current world ecological crisis underscores this fundamental connection. Within architectural practice the communication from architect to participant or environment is not at all straightforward. This is also true of the dyadic relation between working drawing, participant and environment through context, design and communication in architectural education and practice. 'We live in a world desperate to discover a set of rules from which we can derive principles about the environment, and relations between human activity and the environment, yet the holistic perspectives we require seem to elude us' (Harries-Jones 1995: 3).
