Description

Architectural design is a concept that focuses on components and elements of structure such as space, form, place, and function, whereas architectural graphic design speaks of the building, function, purpose, and narration. An effective architectural design supports the construction and strengthens its presence. Architectural graphic design is neither independent nor superficial. The architectural visual designing layer has meaning, form, and function same as architecture. Therefore, graphic design is an essential component of architectural design. When an architect designs a building, they consider elements like safety, functionality and cost. It's also important for them to account for style and visual messaging through design processes like architectural graphic design. If you work in architecture, design, city planning or graphic design and enjoy representing ideas through design elements, this can be an exciting professional area to learn about and develop. The whole idea behind creating scale drawings is to allow the drafter to create a drawing which is proportionately the same as the artifact it represents. Using a measuring device called a scale, we can create accurate drawings of both very large objects and very small objects and fit either on a standard size piece of paper.†Often, scales are made in triangular form so that they can be marked with different scale ratios. Architectural graphics are key tools for conveying design through representation on paper or on screen, and this book is the ultimate guide to mastering the skill, then applying your talent to create more effective design communication.
