- Summary
- "The ability to transform an architectural design concept into an illustration appears magical, but, in reality, it originates with discipline of perception and repeated practice in sketching," writes Richard Rochon in his Foreword to Sketching the Concept. Using renderings from the highly respected portfolio of Robert L. Sutton (1924-1985), architectural delineator, illustrator, and gifted artist, Sketching the Concept shows architects and designers how to develop these essential skills.
- It illustrates the practical applications of architectural sketching and provides an abundant source of exemplars and inspiration for those who want to utilize sketching techniques more effectively in their work.
- With an analytical text by Harold Linton, director of the first degree program in architectural illustration in the United States, to explain the uses of sketching and the media and techniques employed, the book covers the sketch study - visual note taking, sketchbooks, studies in line, tone, and texture, compositional studies and refinements, and critical evaluation; thematic drawings - study groupings and studies extended; compositional schemes - open and closed designs, cropping, entries and exits, and atmospheric and graphic space; and refined illustrations - urban and industrial projects.
