Understanding Architecture Through Drawing



















Autor: Brian Edwards


Understanding Architecture Through Drawing (Taylor & Francis Group, New York City) is not about the drawing process, but rather about how drawing can be used as a learning tool. "The aim of this book is to explore how freehand drawing can increase the level of understanding of the complexities of modern architeture," writes the author, Brian Edwards, in his introduction. Numerous sketches illustrate the book, and chapter titles such as "Using Drawing to Analyse an Urban Area," "Gateways, Entrances, and Doorways," and "Sequential Sketches" have this reader intrigued--I have a feeling this book will be my faithful companion on the subway for a couple of weeks. The author is a professor of architecture at the Edinburgh School of Art, in Scotland.
