The 5th edition of Architectural Drafting and Design has been updated to reflect recent editions of the IRC and IBC, and is an exceptional full-color resource for architectural drafters and CAD operators of all skill levels. The comprehensive resource features the basics of residential design through the various types of projects that a designer or architect would likely complete during the actual design process. Coverage includes an introduction to architectural styles that have dominated the field over the last four centuries, and step-by-step instructions for the design and layout of each type of drawing associated with a complete set of architectural plans, with projects that can be completed using either CAD or manual drawing methods. This invaluable feature enables readers to complete each of the drawings required by most municipalities to obtain a building permit for a single-family residence. 1008 pp.
