A visually stunning celebration of architectural drawing, aimed at students, sourced exclusively from the RIBA Collection.

Arranged into three parts, the book begins with a historical summary of the drawings in the RIBA’s Collection. This is followed by a chapter exploring why we draw, covering the range of different types of representation and the purposes each of them serves. This encompasses the entire design process, from nurturing the earliest idea through to aiding construction, as well as surveying, recording, communicating, and representing architecture – spatially, physically or otherwise.

The main body of the book focuses on how we draw. Copiously illustrated with examples from the Collection, this section is a practical guide to different styles, types and techniques of representation, arranged thematically.

This is an essential, beautifully illustrated reference work and practical guide for all students.
