"This volume reveals how architects approach drawing as a
process wherein ideas are given form. As a tool for teaching, these
examples become important in students' understanding of the formal
and technical aspects of design thought. In an age of digital
technologies, this work emphasizes the intimate relationship that
exists between the drawing and its maker, the process between
paper, hand, and mind."
--LaRaine Papa Montgomery, Professor of Architecture/Graphics
Coordinator, Savannah College of Art and Design
"This book contains a wealth of information on architectural
graphic communication. My students have found this to be an
invaluable resource for graphic presentation techniques ranging
from traditional hand drawing to advanced computer graphics. It
features an amazingly wide range of examples including both student
work and professional work by renowned architects. With the
addition of a new chapter on portfolio design, this new edition
illustrates the full gamut of graphic communication skills from the
conceptual sketch through the documentation of the final
portfolio."
--Mark A. Pearson, AIA, LEED AP, Associate Professor of
Architecture, College of DuPage
"This book should be in the library of all architecture and
design students as well as practicing professionals. The richness
and variety of hand-drawn and digital illustrations by students and
architects offers deep insight into the many drawing types and
methods used today. The section on portfolios is a helpful and
timely addition."
