Drawing and Perceiving: Life Drawing for Students of Architecture and Design, 3rd Edition


A complete guide to drawing, perception, and analysis for architects and designers

The observation and drawing of real objects are the starting points for the designer's visionary constructions and inspirations. A longtime favorite of architectural students, Douglas Cooper's Drawing and Perceiving: Real-World Drawing for Students of Architecture and Design instills an understanding of the basic principles of drawing that are universal to all design disciplines-mass, volume, form, contour, texture, shadow, and more-as it explores the knowledge, rational thought, and expressiveness that designers rely on to create successful drawings.
• Covers all aspects of drawing from figure drawing and freehand drawings to detailed constructions in perspective and axonometry in one comprehensive volume
• Uniquely covers both perception and technique
• Encourages the reader to use powers of imitation, analysis, and rational thought in order to create successful drawings
• Dozens of exercises throughout the book encourage readers to replicate the concepts explained, and in turn, become more proficient in both figure drawing and constructed drawing
