Book Description
This first book in the “Basics Architecture” series explores the concepts and techniques used to represent architecture. “Representational Techniques” 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.
