Understanding Architecture
Through Drawing
Second Edition
This new edition is fully revised and updated and includes new chapters on sustainability, history
and archaeology, designing through drawing and drawing in architectural practice. The book
introduces design and graphic techniques aimed to help designers increase their understanding of
buildings and places through drawing. For many, the camera has replaced the sketchbook, but here
the author argues that freehand drawing as a means of analysing and understanding buildings
develops visual sensitivity and awareness of design.
By combining design theory with practical lessons in drawing, Understanding Architecture Through
Drawing encourages the use of the sketchbook as a creative and critical tool. The book is highly
illustrated and is an essential manual on freehand drawing techniques for students of architecture,
landscape architecture, town and country planning and urban design.
