Summary: This first book in the Basics Architecture series explores the concepts and techniques used to represent architecture. A broad array of techniques employed to develop architectural ideas are described, ranging from the way in which sketches are used to develop conceptual ideas, through to the working drawings and details required for the construction of buildings. The book covers both two-dimensional and three-dimensional methods of representation and shows a variety of media, from those used in freehand sketching, through to cutting-edge computer modeling and drawing techniques. Using examples from leading international architects and designers along with more experimental student work, a broad range of interpretations, possibilities and applications are demonstrated.

Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Basics Architecture 01- Representational Techniques by Lorraine Farrelly explores the concepts and techniques used to represent architecture. It describes a broad array of methodologies for developing architectural ideas, ranging from two- and three-dimensional conceptual sketches, through to the working drawings required for the construction of buildings, and offers a range of practical drawing methods, showing how to present and plan layouts, make conceptual sketches, work with scale, use collage and photomontage to create contemporary images, along with techniques to prepare and plan design portfolios. The book also deals with a variety of media, from those used in freehand sketching, through to cutting-edge computer modeling and drawing techniques. Using examples from leading international architects and designers along with more experimental student work, a broad range of interpretations, possibilities and applications are demonstrated. Students and practitioners will find this a useful and clear companion to a vital aspect of architectural design.
