Design Drawing
Author(s): Francis D. K. Ching
Author and architecture educator Frank D.K. Ching shares his unique command of visual language in this revised guide to drawing principles and techniques. Design Drawing is an innovative book-plus-CD-ROM package sheds new light on the relationship between perception, drawing, and design. He unmasks the basic cognitive processes behind visual perception and expression, incorporating observation, memory, and rendering into a creative whole, and shows how to apply "visual thinking" as a versatile tool for approaching design projects. The companion CD-ROM has been revised with 12 new modules, and an easy-to-use interface.
