A useful tool for any architect's office" -American Institute of Architects Journal
Architects use various presentations to show their clients what buildings will look like before they are constructed-pencil, pen-and-ink, or water- color renderings, scale models, photomontages, and even printed bro- chures. This wide-ranging handbook explains all these forms and the methods of executing them
In addition to a detailed discussion of lighting, entourage, ambience, and perspective, an up-to-date section on computer graphics covers its in- creasing use in architecture as a design element. Different brands and grades of. equipment and materials are surveyed, and the mechanics of preparing artwork for printing are fully detailed. Both the problems of large offices, where presentations may be done by in-house or outside specialists, and those of smaller firms, which may have to make an im- pressive presentation on a shoestring, are considered
Over 300 line, halftone, and color examples by noted architects and ren- derers, such as Helmut Jacoby, Norman Jaffe, Robert Venturi, and Ralph Rapson, are included; in many cases the artists describe their ap- proaches and techniques in their own words. This comprehensive text is the definitive reference for student and professional architects, renderers and artists.
