It covers: tool fundamentals; lettering; orthographic and paraline drawing; representational sketching; linear perspective drawing; perspective view development; shadows; delineating and rendering entourage; diagramming; conceptual sketching; 3D modelling; and presentation formats. Visual examples place technical instruction in a professional practice context, enabling students to see and understand the powers of drawing. Examples are clearly presented and grouped in chapters according to drawing type. Work from a variety of noted architects, including Cesar Pelli, Michael Graves, and I.M. Pei is included.
