National Income and Employment Analysis

by A. Collery

This comprehensive text provides architecture students with a visual resource of design-drawing styles and techniques. 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. The book should be appropriate for students working at different levels (students already skilled in pictorial drawing or perspective should find the book a useful reference for presentation work in other courses).

Tool fundamentals; lettering, typography, and line types; conventional orthogonal terminology; orthographic and paraline drawing; representational sketching; linear perspective drawing; perspective view development; light, shade, and shadow; delineating and rendering entourage; diagramming; design sketching; 3-D modelling; presentation formats; exotics.
