Description

Tom Porter is known internationally for his excellent graphics books for designers. This new book explores the relationship between the way we see and the way we draw architectural ideas. The text deals with sensory experience of space, the spatial cues represented in architectural drawing and the relationship between drawing type and design intent. Forms of drawings provided by new technological aids such as animated computer graphics and virtual reality are also addressed. Students of architecture, urban design, interior design and landscape architecture will find this a most comprehensive and inspirational text.
