What is the role of drafting (CAD or hand) in The Architecture Handbook?
The first 5 projects in the book are structured around the 5 different types of architectural drawings of the F10 House: the block plan, site plan, floor plan, elevation, and building section. A full set of construction drawings is included in the student edition, while the teacher edition includes PDFs of the drawings at full scale. Students in a beginning architectural drafting class will learn the basic skills of technical drawing while replicating the drawings and working through small design projects throughout the book. Students not in an architectural drafting course can still use the 5 types of drawings to learn about the built environment through sketching, research projects, and design activities included in the teacher edition.
