A Practical Guide to Architectural Drawing by Edward Denison and Guang Yu Ren is a visually stunning guide to architectural drawing from the RIBA Collections. This comprehensive primer showcases a rich variety of different graphic styles, types, and modes of representation, presented thematically. The book delves into the reasons behind why we draw and the various methods used, covering the entire design process - from nurturing early ideas to aiding construction, surveying, recording, communicating, and representing architecture in spatial, structural, and material terms. Illustrated exclusively with drawings from the world's largest and most prestigious architectural drawing collection, it features a diverse range of works. By focusing on drawing techniques, this guide elevates the acquisition of practical drawing skills into a pleasurable experience, acquainting students with some of the most exquisite and accomplished graphic representations in the world.
