Description
While computers have facilitated and enriched the ways in which architects can develop and present their ideas, there is also a growing lack of skills in other forms of image-making that was traditionally furnished through training in drawing and sketching. This book focuses on the exciting possibilities for representing the built environment with all the techniques – both ancient and modern – that are now available.
Students today need to learn the following skills: how to draw using a range of media, the basic rules of making effective spatial images, how to read a drawing, and how to express ideas through appropriate media and forms of communication. Following a brief introduction, the book is divided into three sections: Media, Types and Places. Each section is illustrated with key drawings and accompanying commentaries. Step-by-step sequences and special tips will further help students to make the most of their newly acquired skills. This book will be an indispensable practical and inspirational resource in architectural schools and practices alike.
Featured Reviews
Review by Eric Parry, Eric Parry Architects.
This is both a book and a manual to inspire drawing thinking and the creative emancipation that drawing offers.
Review by Professor Dean Hawkes, University of Cambridge.
The great Italian architect Carlo Scarpa said, “I want to see things, that’s all I really trust. I put them down in front of me on paper so that I can see them. I want to see and that’s why I draw. I can see an image only if I draw it.”David Dernie’s book is the ideal introduction to the nature and possibilities of drawing for architects. It embraces the traditional media that remain the essential foundation of all architectural exploration, but acknowledges the enormous potential that is now offered by computer-based representation. It should become an essential reference for all.
Review by Professor Neil Jackson, University of Liverpool
This book is about the art of the architect and should be a companion to every student of architecture.
