Features: A key perspective in architectural art theory is "simplicity." Western modern architectural master Mies van der Rohe believed, "Less is more, simplicity is beauty." In traditional Chinese painting, an important standard of aesthetics is also "refinement." Simplicity makes it easier for people to understand its essence and inspires them more. This book can serve as a reference for designers to draw inspiration and replicate ideas when conceptualizing and formulating plans. Quick sketches can be used as "knockout drawings" or greeting gifts for project presentations. Based on the authors' experience, many projects were decided with just a single pen-and-ink architectural drawing, even without the need for computer-rendered visuals. Specifically, it covers the following two aspects:
1. Expression
2. Form
Numerous excellent design cases in modern architecture are countless. The works selected by the authors focus on creativity, simplicity, and stability, with considerations for inspiring design ideas and facilitating learning and reference.
