Synopsis

ARCHITECTURAL DRAFTING AND DESIGN, 6E is ideal for all architectural drafters and CAD operators, whether beginning, intermediate, or advanced. The basics of residential design, commercial drafting, basic materials used for construction, common construction methods, and drawings typically associated with commercial construction are all covered in this comprehensive book, which is written to meet the most recent editions of IRC and IBC. Readers will be introduced to the various types of projects that a designer or architect is likely to complete during the actual design process and will gain the knowledge necessary to complete the drawings required by most municipalities to obtain a building permit for a single-family residence.

About this title

Review

"I absolutely loved this book. Once I started reading this book, it was hard to put it down. It was much like a well loved novel. The proposed organization of this book was great. It is well written. The information in the charts and illustrations fit each topic. Many of the chapters were short in length which made it easier to offer one a chance to absorb the subject better.... There is enough information in this book that several syllabuses can be made up for several semesters."
