 How to draw the new architectural realities
All of the man-made architectural wonders that we see around us began their lives as just seeds of ideas. Before being built, these seeds must be crystallized and nurtured through drawings. Architects depend on drawing to bring their ideas to life.
One book that has become a trusted source for teaching architects how to do it right is Francis D.K. Ching's //Architectural Graphics//. Now in its fifth edition, it offers the essential drawing tools, principles, and techniques that architects use to communicate their ideas. It expands upon the wealth of illustrations and instructions that have made this book a classic, and guides readers through the subtleties of translating architectural ideas into vivid visual representations.
Readers will learn Ching's renowned methods through: coverage of multiview drawings, paraline drawings, and perspective drawings; techniques for drawing section views of building interiors; strategies for rendering tonal value, enhancing pictorial depth, and conveying the illumination of spatial environments; approaches for developing the layout of architectural presentations; freehand sketching and diagramming; and so much more.
This beautiful fifth edition of //Architectural Graphics//from Francis D.K. Ching clearly represents the complexity of architectural concepts in an intuitive graphic manner that benefits anyone interested in maintaining the highest standard of the profession of architecture.

Summarizes the best of Chings Graphics Advice
I'm a second year architecture student and I've already collected a dozen or so books on graphics and techniques. Whats good about this book is contains most of Ching's best tips all in one thin desk reference. Very useful. Very Practical.

This book is a lot older than I expected, one of the earlier published but all the same it came quickly, thanks :)
Great book!
I'm an architecture student from Brazil and i gotta say i just looove this book. I strongly recommend it for students and professionals as well.
 Explains little
I don't know why this book is so popular. It's so hard to follow. The instructions are skimpy (no step by step, just the final product), the verbiage is meant to impress not explain, and it contains the exact same drawings that are in other Ching books, such as Design Drawing. The drawings themselves are complicated, obtuse, and for all the talk of the importance of line weight, they have almost none (making them even harder to read).
