Architectural Graphics presents a wide range of basic graphic tools and techniques designers use to communicate architectural ideas. Expanding upon the wealth of illustrations and information that have made this title a classic, this Fourth Edition provides expanded and updated coverage of drawing materials, multiview drawings, paraline drawings, and perspective drawings. Also new to this edition is the author's unique incorporation of digital technology into his successful methods. While covering essential drawing principles, this book presents: approaches to drawing section views of building interiors, methods for drawing modified perspectives, techniques for creating accurate shade and shadows, expert styles of freehand sketching and diagramming, and much more.
Architectural Graphics Reviews
-
There should be a required reading list for architectural studies that include Pr. Ching's books. I found them by far the best books for initiation to architectural graphics, drawings, composition, building codes, architectural history...
He wrote some 15 books, that so far I've found super useful and concise. -

ياااااه ي مصريين .. الناس بقت بتألف كتب ف مناطق متخصصة للغاية عن أزاى ترسم بحرفية و أحنا لسا بنتخانق مع المقاول !
من رفاهيات فنيات العلم المعمارى مقارنة لوضعنا يعنى ..
لو أنت معمارى و بتمل بسرعه فكك منه البديل بتاعه ممكن يكون tutorials لنفس الheadlines المهمة اللى فيه على النت .. -
I never really read this book. I just see the pictures.
P. S: don't judge me for being shallow! -
In-depth guide to how to make architectural drawings
-
I read the parts I was assigned necessary to draft buildings. Includes the needed materials, perspectives, rendering (I didn't read that part), presentations, and free hand (as opposed to using a ruler and such architect tools). Many drawn pictures, examples, and shading. Seems like it includes all the basic techniques you need to draw buildings from different angles. I've used it as a reference many times.
-
A classic by Ching, used by architecture students through the decades, it seems. Manual drafting techniques are essential, and a good architect, although well versed in CAD, can't succeed without learning the tips and tricks Ching offers throughout Architectural Graphics.

If you want to learn about architectural drafting then this book is a great place to start. It has a constructed cruclium which is very useful for Architects and students of Architecture.
It shows how to handle drawing perspectives easily with different views and ways of drafting. -
Recommended to me by Alan Cooper.

I red it when I was in my junior year.

Very informative and beautifully laid out. I love how it is completely hand-lettered and illustrated.
