Summary:
«Every design begins with a search for an idea or for an intuitive understanding of how an assignment should be solved. This design idea is the start of a long journey on which the designer defines the idea more precisely, modifies it, adds details and repeatedly rejects results. The current book, Design Ideas, is confined thematically to the start of this process, which influences and sets the direction of both the path and, often, the result. Its goal is not only to depict a variety of effective approaches and sources of inspiration, but also to show ways to unlock creativity. The contents are meant to encourage students to explore individual topics and concepts in greater depth. The focus has deliberately been shifted away from specific architectural styles and dogmatic principles. What is at issue here is a simple, yet complex, question: how do I come up with an initial idea?» Bert Bielefeld, Foreword

The authors do not therefore provide a comprehensive survey, but concentrate on essential subject matter for design and the way the building is later perceived. The focus is on the insightful use of different materials and the wide range of design possibilities they offer. First, their key properties are identified, so that readers can find their way around the physical and emotional world of material. The book systematically introduces the most important building material types and charaterizes their individual properties. Typical design approaches and principles in handing the material quality of buildings are also explained.» Bert Bielefeld, Foreword

Summary:
«The Technical Drawing volume is directed at those commencing studies in architecture and civil engineering, and trainees in construction drawing and technical drawing. University courses in particular often require basic knowledge for the preparation of technical drawings, which students have to acquire laboriously for themselves. The difficulty lies in the large number of ISO standards that regulate construction drawings - the German DIN standards were largely the basis for international standards. Regardless of these general rules, however, there is no one correct way of preparing and creating a design or working drawing. Construction drawings always an act of self-expression by the person preparing them; they have a personal touch. This book therefore provides the fundamentals required for the various plan types and drawings in the planning process - so that students are enabled to present their designs and ideas quickly and confidently through construction drawings.» Bert Bielefeld, Foreword

Summary:
Architects Draw offers a practical and invaluable way to help students and would-be sketchers translate what they see onto the page, not as an imitation of reality, but as a comprehensive union of voids and solids, light and shadows, lines and shapes. For over forty years revered Cooper Union professor and artist Sue Gussow has taught aspiring architects of varying abilities how to fully observe and perceive the spaces that make up our physical environment. Gussow skillfully applies architectural language to twenty-five drawing exercises that tackle a variety of forms–from peas in a pod to monkeys, skeletons, dinosaur bones, and the art of Giacometti and Mondrian. She shows, for example, how cut fruit and paper bags reveal that the physical world is made up of planes, dimensions, and enclosed space. Architects Draw features examples from postgraduate architectural practice that explicitly connect drawing to the world of architecture. It also includes a guide to artists' materials, a visual checklist of quick drawing exercises, and other invaluable information that can be detached from the book for quick reference. This unique course provides a solid foundation for anyone interested in using drawing as a visual language to describe architecture. Sue Ferguson Gussow is a figurative painter who works in a wide range of drawing and painting media. A graduate of The Cooper Union, Columbia University, and Tulane University, Gussow has served on the faculties of both the School of Art and The Irwin S. Chanin School of Architecture at The Cooper Union and has taught and lectured at several universities and art institutions, among them Yale, Columbia, Bennington, New York University, Maryland Art Institute, Parsons School of Design and the Frick Collection. Now Professor Emerita of the Irwin S. Chanin School of Architecture of the Cooper Union, she has designed and taught Freehand Drawing for three decades and presently teaches the Advanced Drawing Seminar in the School of Architecture.
