Features: Architectural representation is an important aspect of architectural design. It not only conveys the function and form of the building but also reflects the texture of building materials, light and shadow, and the architectural environment. Architectural representation differs from architectural-themed paintings by artists; it focuses more on the building itself. A well-executed architectural representation not only has an aesthetically pleasing overall visual but, more importantly, demonstrates the intended effect of the design after implementation, capturing people's attention and fostering communication. Clever concepts and innovative creativity are the highlights of architectural representations, and without them, the representation would lose its charm. Rapid architectural representation is not just a record of the designer's creative process but also an effective means of refining the building's function, structure, and form. Markers, with their rich colors and portability, have become a key tool for rapid architectural representation. This book provides a detailed introduction to the techniques of marker-based rapid design and offers pen-and-ink drawing examples for coloring practice by beginners. It can serve as a training manual for learning rapid marker representation and as a reference for designers.
