A comprehensive guide to all major types of architectural drawings encompasses a wide range of drawing techniques, professional advice, examples, and information on media, styles, effects, and execution.

This book presents a range of graphic images used in the production of Australian architecture. It pictures perspective, axonometric and orthogonal images and each is examined for its specific aesthetic qualities and the techniques and materials used in the production of final artwork. To clarify the distinctive characteristics of the graphic images, each is accompanied by a statement about the design, written by the architect and, where available, photographs of the completed building. The introductory text questions how the selected drawings might be seen to characterise a visibility of cultural production with regard to the present formation of our architectural profession. This question opens two domains of analysis - firstly, the roles of the observer and artist/architect in relation to the currency of visual codes and secondly, the application to architectural production of visual codes from artistic media. These domains of analysis issue further debate on the necessity of architectural drawing to fulfil the representational role of making comprehensible projected built form.

The new, updated edition of the successful book on interior design Interior Design Visual Presentation, Second Edition is fully revised to include the latest material on CAD, digital portfolios, resume preparation, and Web page design. It remains the only comprehensive guide to address the visual design and presentation needs of the interior designer, with coverage of design graphics, models, and presentation techniques in one complete volume. Approaches to the planning, layout, and design of interior spaces are presented through highly visual, step-by-step instructions, supplemented with more than forty pages of full-color illustrations, exercises at the end of each chapter, and dozens of new projects. With the serious designer in mind, it includes a diverse range of sample work, from student designers as well as well-known design firms such as Ellerbee and Beckett Architects and MS Architects.

Basics Architecture 01- Representational Techniques by Lorraine Farrelly explores the concepts and techniques used to represent architecture. It describes a broad array of methodologies for developing architectural ideas, ranging from two- and three-dimensional conceptual sketches, through to the working drawings required for the construction of buildings, and offers a range of practical drawing methods, showing how to present and plan layouts, make conceptual sketches, work with scale, use collage and photomontage to create contemporary images, along with techniques to prepare and plan design portfolios. The book also deals with 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. Students and practitioners will find this a useful and clear companion to a vital aspect of architectural design.

Applies a heavily illustrated case-study approach to the multitude of techniques used to depict architectural projects, emphasizing the technique, and how the style of presentation heightens the attributes of the project itself. This revised edition adds information on using the computer to present 3-D and solid-modeled designs. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Architectural Delineation is a text realistically based on student examples, which is appropriate for any art/architecture class where hand drawing is emphasized. It would be particularly useful for any student interested in majoring in architecture or interior design. This text is a result of the authors never being completely satisfied with the various instructional books available over the 15 years they have taught architectural drawing. Their goal is to provide exercises that increase visual awareness, and develop drawing skills and confidence in each student who uses this book. Each project in Architectural Delineation is designed to give the student cumulative information while reviewing previously-acquired skills. The authors feel that the discipline of seeing (by way of drawing) is an end in itself. It makes the individual more intimately aware of the external world and the internal world of ideas. The first two chapters of this text provide a presentation of the course of study developed at Texas Tech University for a two-semester sequence in freehand drawing. The first semester activities are limited to black and white media. The second semester is focused on the use of color. Chapter three is essentially a portfolio of professional work. This section includes both black and white and full color examples of architectural illustration by significant architects, designers, and illustrators. Chapter four is devoted to advance projects by upper level students.

The techniques used to represent architectural design are examined in Representational Techniques for Architecture. A broad array of methodologies for developing architectural ideas are described, ranging from two- and three-dimensional conceptual sketches, through to the working drawings required for the construction of buildings. The book offers a range of practical drawing methods, showing how to present and plan layouts, make conceptual sketches, work with scale, use collage and photomontage to create contemporary images, along with techniques to prepare and plan design portfolios.The book also deals with contemporary computer modelling and drawing techniques. In the second edition, 25% of the material is new: many of the images have been updated, and new case studies have been added, for example architect studios such as Coophimmelblau and C J Lim/Studio 8 architects. Additional case studies are drawn from American and international architectural practices and studios. The most up-to-date CAD technology is examined along with illustrations showing how it can be used to create architectural models and plans. The enhanced project sections encourage students to explore further the techniques that they have acquired.

This practical textbook covers the range of presentation techniques available to architects and interior designers. These techniques, ranges from perspective drawing, through model-making and computer-aided gaphics to the latest developments in animation and even holograms, are an essential part of the process of design - explaining and selling ideas to clients.

This introduction to architectural presentation graphics covers both manual and computer graphics presentation techniques -- showing the cooperative, and complementary relationships between the two. It provides an overview of the tools and equipment that are commonly used to prepare design presentations.
