Get the completely revised edition to mastering the visual language of architecture. In his distinctive graphic style, world-renowned author and architecture educator Francis D.K. Ching takes us on another exciting journey through the process of creation. In Design Drawing, Second Edition , he unmasks the basic cognitive processes that drive visual perception and expression, incorporating observation, memory, and rendering into a creative whole. This edition unites imaginative vision with fundamental architectural principles to cover the traditional basics of drawing, including line, shape, tone, and space.

Guiding the reader step-by-step through the entire drawing process, Design Drawing also examines different types of drawing techniques such as multiview, paraline, and perspective drawings - and how they can be applied to achieve stunning results.

In addition, this edition:
- Goes beyond basic drawing books - Ching not only covers the principles, media, and techniques of drawing, but also places these within the context of what and why designers draw.
- Features more than 1,500 hand-rendered drawings - beautiful illustrations that reinforce the concepts and lessons of each chapter.
- Includes a supplemental CD-ROM - viewers will gain a greater appreciation of the techniques presented in this book through the power of animation, video, and 3D models.
- Twelve new modules are included, as is a video of the author demonstrating freehand techniques in a step-by-step manner.

For professional architects, designers, fine artists, illustrators, teachers and students alike, this all-in-one package is both an effective tool and an outstanding value, demonstrating concepts and techniques in a visually stimulating format that transends comparable works in the field.
