Graphic Thinking for Architects and Designers

Graphic Thinking for Architects and Designers

 3 edition | 2001 | PDF | 246 pages | 75 MB

For architects, drawing is more than a convenient way to communicate ideas; it is an integral part of the creative process that has a profound impact on thinking and problem-solving. In Graphic Thinking for Architects and Designers, Third Edition, Paul Laseau demonstrates that more versatile and facile sketching leads to more flexible, creative approaches to design challenges. To encourage this flexibility and stimulate graphic thinking, he introduces numerous graphic techniques that can be applied in a variety of situations. He also helps readers acquire a solid grasp of basic freehand drawing, representational drawing construction, graphic note-taking, and diagramming.

Important features of this new edition include:

* Easy-to-understand discussions supported by freehand illustrations

* A new format with superior representation of techniques and concepts

* Dozens of new and updated illustrations

* Extensive coverage of new technologies related to the graphic thinking process

Origins, Imitation, Conventions

Origins, Imitation, Conventions :

Representation in the Visual Arts.

342 pages | PDF | 17,1 MB

This collection contains studies written by art historian James Ackerman over the past decade.

The "origins" studied here include the earliest art history and criticism; the beginnings of architectural drawing in the Middle Ages and Renaissance; Leonardo Da Vinci's sketches for churches, the first in the Renaissance to propose supporting domes on sculpted walls and piers; and the first architectural photographs.

 "Imitation" refers to artistic achievements that in part depended on the imitation of forms established in practices outside the fine arts, such as ancient Roman rhetoric and print media.

 "Conventions," like language, facilitate communication between the artist and viewer, but are both more universal (understood across cultures) and more fixed (resisting variation that might diminish their clarity). The three categories are closely linked throughout the book, as most acts of representation partake to some degree of all three.
