The debate surrounding hand drawing versus computer-generated
imagery has become a hot topic. Having grown up with computers,
today's interior design and architecture students are extremely
adept at creating computer imagery, but often lack confidence in
their freehand sketching skills, or do not know how to sketch at
all. Sketching, and the careful observation that it entails, is
essential for the successful development of the next generation of
designers. Forty-five step-by-step exercises take the student from
the simple three-dimensional forms of furniture, to interiors, to
complex building exteriors, and cityscapes. Technical topics
covered include tools, line weights, perspective, proportion,
composition, shading, serial views, and context. Exercises are
illustrated with beautiful sketches specially created by the
author. Sketching for Architecture + Interior Design is an
indispensable and practical guide for students wishing to master
the art of looking and sketching.
Designed to appeal to visual thinkers, 25 Concepts in Modern
Architecture explores the fundamental ideas behind architectural
design, through easy-to-follow sketches, drawings and succinct
explanations. Twenty-five concepts - each of which are key to
architectural design thinking - are accessibly explained by
examining twenty-five different masterworks of modern architecture.
For example, the concept of 'movement' in architectural design is
explained through a close look at a Le Corbusier building;
'transparency' is examined in Philip Johnson's seminal Glass House;
'asymmetry' is understood through the work of Zaha Hadid - and so
on, through twenty-five core concepts and twenty-five of the most
significant buildings of the modern era. Taking a highly-visual
approach, this simple yet visually-powerful guide is an essential
companion in the design studio and to introductory courses in
modern architecture, interior architecture, and interior design.
Understanding these concepts will provide a key to demystifying the
greatest works in modern architectural history, inspire new ways to
think about new design projects, and reveal how drawing and
sketching are used as tools for the visual analysis of
architecture.
