Features: This series of textbooks is one of the design and art education series compiled by the Design College of the China Academy of Art. Originally planned to compile a total of 50 books to form a scale and influence the design and art community. Although this initiative was taken by me, I felt the responsibility was too great to bear and that it was better to have a diverse range of works without a chief editor. Each piece is accountable for its own content, and the quality will be judged by public opinion. Today, the design market is booming, everyone is busy, and the mindset is, making high-quality textbooks rare. The lack of theory leads to the pale nature of design, which is an undeniable fact. Colleagues like Xiaoqi were able to squeeze time like a sponge and spare the effort to compile the "Architectural and Environmental Imagery Expression Series," leaving behind a reliable record, which is truly commendable. Indeed, for the countless students, as a teacher, it is a duty to be unwavering. Teachers like Wu Xiaoqi from the Environmental Art Department and radar from the Industrial Design Department at our college have taken the lead. Everyone should follow suit. I have a good working relationship with these teachers and sincerely wish them even greater achievements. Writing an introduction of hundreds of words is the hardest, to be concise yet meaningful, it requires not only skill but also knowing where to start. After much deliberation and multiple revisions, I wrote this "plain language" as the preface. Professor and Deputy Dean of the Design College at the China Academy of Art, Doctoral Supervisor Wang Guoliang. Architectural and Environmental Imagery Expression is the foundation of environmental art and design, and it is increasingly valued as an important part of modern commercial competition bidding. When we compiled this series, we aimed to start with the basic principles of architectural and environmental design, from hard-line sketches to colored rendering, and even to the widely used computer drawing techniques in modern applications, explaining a complete progressive learning method. Through our introduction, we hope to provide correct guidance for beginners, especially students from similar professional colleges, to quickly master the professional techniques of architectural and environmental imagery expression and achieve twice the result with half the effort. The Environmental Art Department of the China Academy of Art has always emphasized the mastery of watercolor rendering skills for students and has focused on inheriting the traditional Chinese humanistic spirit in ink and wash rendering exercises. This training method has been proven to be effective, with students' professional painting skills ranking among the best in similar colleges nationwide and becoming the "signature skill" of the Environmental Art Department students at the China Academy of Art.
