Customer Reviews
very dissapointing - Rated I was recommended this book to learn the basics of drafting and found it a total let-down. It claims to be updated for those who draw with a computer but I found this to be little more than an unhelpful footnote in each chapter that avoids real discussion of digital drafting. The advice is spread too thin over unsophisticated presentation techniques that would not widthstand criticism in an architecture school. This is essentially a guide to freehand sketch renderings that take ages and don't look very good. disappointing - Rated If you want to draw like Ching, get his other books, they are a lot less boring. This book shows only one style of drawing, and it uses imperial American architectural scales. Good drawing is not about copying, and other people can draw better, like Frank Llyod Wright or Franklin D. Israel. Its twenty five quid and won't change your life. Good all round book - Rated I'm a first year degree student and draftsman at work and found the section on perspectives and freehand sketching particularly good. My only gripe is that the book is an American book and as a result is all in inches and feet. It would have been much better if they had produced a metric version for publication in Great Britain. Apart from that, definitly worth having for any architecture student - fits nicely on the shelf with Chudley and Mitchells!! essential for any architect or student - Rated A fabulous survey of the conventions of architectural drawing in an easily referenced, concise format. Adequately covers the basics of orthographic, paraline, perspective, and rendering techniques. Good for the first time student just learning, or the experienced architect looking for a brush up.
