Presents the basics of preparing architectural details-- enlarged drawings of specific architectural assemblies such as doors, windows, stairs, walls, and roofs. The ability to evolve a detail, either for the architect or the technician, is critical to the professional capacity to communicate graphically. Presents a simple, clear, step-by-step review of detailing, emphasizing professionalism and current practice. Two chapters have been added to the second edition: ''Applique Film, Scissor Drafting and Splicing'' and ''Computer Aided Drafting.'' Each chapter begins with specific learning objectives and ends with review questions. Lavishly illustrated with over 600 architectural drawings.
This book has some valuable information in it regarding architectural drawings. It is somewhat lacking in the fact that it is a bit dated and does not include much information about computer aided design, but this can be overlooked.
