Anyone know where I might find the 'Slowness' essay/manifesto written awhile ago by them? or any other architect/designer manifestos for that matter.

Boy, they really are slow. I was experiencing, thinking and writing about the same stuff back in 1983 and the years immediately after. I found whole new uses for my quondam drawing equipment. I started making art while the computer aided my drawing of architecture. See also Stephen Lauf, "Three-Dimensional Model of Center-City Philadelphia" in Drawing Toward Building: Philadelphia Architectural Graphics, 1732-1986 (Philadelphia: University of Pennsylvania Press, 1986), p. 263-64.

it should be in Work Life. Also, there is a copy of the Charles and Ray Eames lecture series that they gave a few years back...dont know if it has parts of 'slowness' in it, but worth a read
