not helpfull..

This book explores and explains the multitude of graphical representational techniques in a clear and informative way. I found the supportive case studies and images inspiring, and it has broadened my perspective of how a building, and it’s narrative, can be presented to an audience.

This book does cover concepts and presentation techniques that are basic and commonplace knowledge to professionals within the world of architecture. However, as someone who is about to start studying a bachelor’s degree in Architecture, I found the majority of the content valuable.

I’d recommend this book to anyone who is thinking about studying architecture, currently studying architecture or has a general interest in the subject.

It contains pretty basic stuff. Sometimes followed by nice drawings but still - basic stuff. Definitely good for young students of architecture though.
