Product Description

This first book in the Basics Architecture series explores the concepts and techniques used to represent architecture. A broad array of techniques employed to develop architectural ideas are described, ranging from the way in which sketches are used to develop conceptual ideas, through to the working drawings and details required for the construction of buildings. The book covers both two-dimensional and three-dimensional methods of representation and shows a variety of media, from those used in freehand sketching, through to cutting-edge computer modeling and drawing techniques. Using examples from leading international architects and designers along with more experimental student work, a broad range of interpretations, possibilities and applications are demonstrated.
