"A visually stunning guide to architectural drawing from the RIBA Collections for students and those wanting to develop their graphic and representation skills. Illustrated exclusively with drawing from the world's largest and most prestigious architectural drawing collection, this title features an international span of works ranging from Balkrishna Vithaldes Doshi's coastal housing scheme to Tadao Ando's Chapel on the Water to Lutyens' Viceroy's House in New Delhi. The book delves into the reasons why we draw and the various methods used, covering the entire design process - from nurturing the earliest ideas to aoding construction, as well as surveying, recording, communicating and representing architecture in spatial, structural and material terms. By focusing on drawing techniques, it showcases a rich variety of different graphic styles, types and modes of representation, presented thematically, offering a comprehensive overview. The historical context of the RIBA Collections is also considered. What does such a large and significant archive tell us about the way the global built environment has been fashioned? Often, and invariably - inequitably. This inspiring primer offers a colourful glimpse into the drawing process, and serves as a lively and informative guide, encouraging people to interact with the RIBA Collections"--From page [4] of cover.
