Architectural Drafting For Beginners: A Primer For The Novice Drafter

This book 📖 is a gift for first time readers and architectural joility! Beforehand, I struggled how to learn, draft or render floor plans, elevations, and reading these graphs, even with scaling principles, are truly a lifesaver! No more estimations nor guesswork!!🎁 Now, if you're interested in constructing basic interior design fundamentals, why bother frustrating your brains?! (Hey, I've done that!) A great purchase at a luncheon price, try this book, today!!

The author gives a comprehensive understanding of architecture for a beginner to understand, complete with a beginning to end walk-through (with detailed diagrams) on how to do floor prints. Highly recommend for the beginner interested in this subject.

This book is wonderful, gives a lot of information that someone new to this can read and understand... it was a gift, he loves it!

I thought that I was going to be an architect in high school but life throws curve balls. What I can remember diving into architecture this book is reminding me of what I had previously learned.

After a little bit of page turning, it appears simple enough for anyone to understand. I was looking for something that I didn’t need a degree to comprehend, and this book satisfies that.

Very informative

Excellent text for beginning students. I have been looking for a text like this to use for teaching my beginning architectural drafting course. Available texts always seem to cover too much advanced information for beginners. This text does not try to overreach its purpose, and very effectively breaks down basic skills into learnable, professionally presented segments. Nice graphics and well explained. Review questions are even provided at the end of each chapter.

I view architecture as a hobby at this point in my life. This book was a perfect starter to understand the basics of architectural drafting. Couple this book with Francis Ching’s Architectural Graphics and you will have a great foundation.

Content is good but quite basic. I find most of the content is also found in another suggested book, Architectural drafting simplified. I would recommend buying the latter book, but not both.
