Better than Ching
I would highly recommend this book to any architectural student, particularly those just starting out. It is full of the basics and will really strengthen your skills. Whilst this book is perfect for those just starting out, I only discovered it when I was starting Part 2 and have still found it to be an invaluable help.

A similar idea to Ching, developing basic drawing and modelling skills, I would recommend you go for this more modern and concise alternative.

should be on all students booklist
This book is an exceptional aid to anyone who needs to draw and understand spatial dynamics for their work or hobby. It does what it says on the cover - a fully detailed course in Architectural Drawing. Highly reccomended.

A great start to the course.
I will start my architectural education this month and this book helped me alot for what i'll be learning soon. I've heard from current students about the course and what is inside the course, it's inside this book. Even an IB graduate with HL Arts as my highest grade, this book gave out more light and definitions which will help me through the years to come.

It has pictures and sketches to make it more vibrant. Even how to layout your page. Everything is in this one book. And im loving it.
