At the beginning of their studies students of architecture are confronted with a wealth of different ways in which to visually present their designs. Expressing ideas in the form of drawings and models is usually required in the early stages of studying "learning by doing" is the only way for students to quickly develop a repertoire for their design work.

However, there are important issues to consider between the phases of devising the spatial concept and recreating it in a two or three-dimensional drawing or physical model How to construct a perspective freehand drawing? What plan drawings are necessary to present my design. What scale should my model be and what materials should I use to construct it.

Basics Architectural Presentation combines the highly successful single volumes Technical Drawing, Freehand Drawing, CAD, Model building (new edition) and Architectural Photography from the series BASICS in a new volume. Step-by-step, it conveys possible ways to present architectural projects throughout the various project phases. In an informative and practical approach, the publication discusses the basics of architectural representation from freehand drawing, which is especially important in the design phase, to the plan drawing, model, and architecture photography. The student architect learns the tools necessary for presenting his or her work, supported by many concrete examples and practical tips that are directly applicable.
