In one beautifully illustrated
volume, The Professional Practice of Architectural Working Drawings presents the
full range of skills, concepts, principles, and applications needed to create a
full set of architectural working drawings. This new Third Edition emphasizes
the importance of communicating general design concepts through specific working
drawings. Chapters proceed logically through each stage of development,
beginning with site and foundation plans and progressing to elevations, building
sections, and other drawings.
New features of this Third Edition include:
Coverage of the latest CAD technologies and techniques
Environmental and human design considerations
Supplemental step-by-step instructions for complex chapters
Ten case studies, including five fully evolved case studies
Hundreds of additional computer-generated drawings and photographs,
including three-dimensional models and full-size buildings shown in virtual
space
Tips for establishing a strategy for developing construction documents
This new edition also presents completely updated material on metric
conversions, code analysis, masonry, and steel. Sets of working drawings for
five different buildings are followed layer by layer from design concept through
the finished construction documents. A companion website (www.wiley.com/go/wakita)
includes summaries for each chapter, a glossary, review questions, laboratory
problems, access to dozens of CAD drawings, a complete study guide, and much
more.
The Professional Practice of Architectural Working Drawings, Third Edition is
an invaluable book for students in architecture, construction, engineering,
