Graphic Design for Architects is a handbook of techniques,
explanations and examples of graphic design most relevant to
architects. The book covers a variety of scales of graphic design,
everything from portfolio design and competition boards, to signage
and building super-graphics - to address every phase of
architectural production. This book combines and expands on
information typically found in graphic design, information design,
and architectural graphics books. As architectural communication
increases to include more territory and components of a project, it
is important for designers to be knowledgeable about the various
ways in which to communicate visually. For instance, signage should
be designed as part of the process - not something added at the end
of a project; and the portfolio is a manifestation of how the
designer works, not just an application to sell a design
sensibility. In thinking about architecture as a systematic and
visual project, the graphic design techniques outlined in this book
will help architects process, organize and structure their work
through the lens of visual communication. Each chapter is titled
and organized by common architectural modes of communication and
production. The chapters speak to architects by directly addressing
projects and topics relevant to their work, while the information
inside each chapter presents graphic design methods to achieve the
architects' work. In this way, readers don't have to search through
graphic design books to figure out what's relevant to them - this
book provides a complete reference of graphic techniques and
methods most useful to architects in getting their work done.
