The missing text book for Architectural Studio July 27, 2009
Sally Kinsington
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
Many architectural studio classes are taught without a specific textbook (not counting the reading of architectural classics). This could be that missing textbook. It is a broad yet specific syllabus of all things studio. While seeming a bit advanced for high school time limits, it certainly is worthy of college and graduate school courses.
Great book for first-year architecture students! March 24, 2010

"Architectural Drawing Course" is a very inforamtive book and easy to follow. Filled with great images, exercises and technical tips. I highly recommended to all freshmen and upper-class students who want to practice their drawing and modeling skills, or want to get better at hand-drafting and sketching.
