Design Drawing

Book info: Design Drawing (Paperback, 288 pages) – W. W. Norton & Company, 2001. Language: English.

The new edition covers traditional and innovative techniques, including the use of the computer.

An essential reference that clarifies the role of drawing in the design process. A text that has been tested in architectural studio courses over twenty-five years and two editions, Design Drawing establishes the theoretical basis for differentiating design drawing from art or drafting in its uses, techniques, and attitudes. It relates drawing to experience, context, and the design process rather than media and form. A tool for students and professionals, the book emphasizes the step-by-step depiction of reality through perspective, shadow-casting, and entourage. 500 b/w and color drawings Editorial Reviews Review "Design Drawing explains what communicating designers do all the time: They draw to realize a thing that doesn't yet exist. . . . the lessons of light, shade, tone, value, texture, and so on are delightful, simple and clearly demonstrated. Perspective drawing is especially well presented and demystified."
