Until now, books on CAD aimed at architects have addressed the use of computer-aided design & drafting as a recording tool, a faster means of producing & storing finished working drawings-& not as an adjunctive creative tool for the design process. Without being software specific, this book will guide the professional & student architect & graphics designer in how to use the computer as an electronic modeling tool, exploring graphic & geometric forms & systems with the freedom & speed of the computer. The reader will be led through a progression of design exercises & design problems, learning how to come up with multiple solutions to a given program. Beautifully illustrated throughout, including 10 four-color CAD drawings!
