A guide to communicating ideas in architectural design. This edition features: a guide to drawing equipment and materials; instructions on how to freehand sketch, and use texture; discussion on arranging architectural presentations; and practical illustrations of difficult concepts.

In his newly revised and expanded Third Edition of Architectural Graphics, Mr. Ching shows the student how to use graphic tools and drafting conventions to translate architectural ideas into effective visual representation. This Third Edition expands upon the wealth of illustrations and instruction that made this title a must-have for every beginning student of architecture and design. This classic guide has a new upright format, and covers essential drafting principles; architectural conventions for orthographic, paraline, and perspective drawings; shade and shadow; graphic symbols and lettering; freehand sketching and diagramming; and presentation layouts. Under the sure-handed guidance of Mr. Ching, you will develop the acute visual and manual skills that form the core of graphic communication. Here you will learn more precise ways of using line weight variation and tonal values to show depth; how to draw section views of building interiors; and how to construct perspectives and accurate shade and shadows.
