Contemporary Practices in Architectural Drawing and Illustration: Volume II

By Eric Todd Inglert

Contemporary Practices in Architectural Drawing and Illustration: Volume II is the second textbook in a two-volume series that helps students better understand and embrace the importance of both hand-drawn and digital drawings in architecture, engineering, and construction. Volume II provides students with an examination of various architectural design theories, emphasizing the interplay between formalism, contextualism, and abstractionism in creating a sense of place.

Structured into four parts, the text progresses from foundational concepts such as pre-design storytelling and simulation to more advanced topics like architectural competition boards and presentation techniques. It explores electronic modeling, designing compositional layouts, and creating architectural renderings. The content bridges the gap between theoretical frameworks and practical applications, offering readers a pathway to understanding and advancing their architectural drawing skills.

Contemporary Practices in Architectural Drawing and Illustration provides a modular approach to learning, allowing for flexibility in teaching and the development of an electronic portfolio, making it a practical resource for both students and educators in the field. It is an ideal resource for courses and programs in architecture and related disciplines that focus on technical drawing, illustration, and design communication.
