Architectural Graphics covers a huge range of fields within Architectural Drafting, and Presentation. From perspective to plans, this book has it all. Excellent for beginners, it is a visual, easy to understand guide to Drafting.

As other reviewers have indicated, this book is ideal for architecture students. It is also useful for any designer or artist who wishes to refine line-drawing techniques. The sections on perspective are particularly well-done, more thorough than any how-to art book I’ve ever seen.
I would have liked to have seen some exploration of coloration techniques, but overall the book is excellent. The entire book is hand-written and hand-drawn, which gives it a wonderfully unique feel that is itself worth the quite reasonable pricetag.

A fabulous survey of the conventions of architectural drawing in an easily referenced, concise format. Adequately covers the basics of orthographic, paraline, perspective, and rendering techniques. Good for the first time student just learning, or the experienced architect looking for a brush up.
Review by Anne-Marie Gallagher for Architectural Graphics

I know that Ching is revered in the field and is recommended by virtually all, but I’m just not feeling the love, especially for this particular book. The graphics in the book have a “sketchy” look I don’t just don’t find appealing or inspiring. A more serious problem is the way the information is weighted: there are pages of illustration/discussion about simple things like line weights and triangles, which would lead one to assume this is a beginner’s book. That would be fine, but as the book progresses, the depth of information dissapates, so that a beginner who tries to follow instructions, for instance, on preparing a perspective or isometric drawing would be completely unable to do so. In this way, the book reminds me of certain assemble-it-at-home instructions: Step one is to get out your tools, step two is to take out the pieces, and step three is to put the thing together. If you’re already a professional, you don’t really need to see an illustration of a lead holder. If you are an absolute beginner, you need more thorough instructions. Really, I can’t imagine the audience for whom this book is intended.

This is a great resource for learning how to produce good architectural drawings. It is oriented around hand drafting, but the concepts and ideas are important for good, readable CAD drawings as well. My first year studio professor made everyone buy this book. It was money well spent!!
