Publisher's Synopsis
Before students can move onto CAD they need a firm understanding of working drawings. The new edition of this text offers a comprehensive introduction to the basic skills required for architectural drafting, ranging from the earliest sketches to finished plans. More than 300 actual working drawings and aerial photographs complement case studies throughout each stage of development. All drawing chapters have been extensively expanded to include the development of roof plans and office practice, and the process of translating designs into construction documents.
