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.

This is a great resource for learning how to produce good architectural drawings. It is oriented around hand drafting, but the concepts and ideas are important for good, readable CAD drawings as well. My first year studio professor made everyone buy this book. It was money well spent!!

This is a must for anyone studying Architecture or any one trying to express in an architectural form. Ching goes through everything, thoroughly enough where you can figure the rest of the stuff that's not covered on your own. He changes your thought process to show you how to think about it, not just how to do it.

This book is a great reference for architecture students and architects. It shows in great detail drawing types and explains the uses for each of the types. It is also very helpful at the beginning with explaining the tools for drawing and their uses. I would recommend this book to anyone; it is a great tool for anyone in the field of design.
