Features: Sketching in architectural interior and exterior design is a design drawing form that runs through architecture, architectural design, and interior environmental art design. It is a comprehensive application of painting tools and drawing tools. In response to the current prevalence and of computer graphics, as well as the unsystematic teaching of freehand architectural drawing in higher architectural institutions, the author of this book uses some actual design sketches and teaching examples from their long-term freehand design experience to communicate with readers from five aspects: environmental art, exterior architectural design, interior design, landscape design, and learning and reflections. The book explores various techniques and practical significance of freehand expression in architectural interior and exterior design, aiming to encourage more people to care about and love this art.
In terms of form and content, the book covers line expression with pens and pencils, and coloring techniques that combine markers, colored pencils, watercolor, tempera, and post-production software like Photoshop and Panter. The sample works include interior design, outdoor landscapes, architectural details, sketches of building facades, scroll and mural designs, display board designs, display furniture, and greening.
The author provides text explanations based on their own experiences, not only detailing design concepts and technical key points but also balancing the dual function of improving readers' design philosophy and aesthetic thinking and artistic literacy. This book can greatly assist in interior and exterior environmental art design, as well as promote essential progress in architectural design, landscape design, architectural history research, and architectural data collection.
The book is both educationally targeted and artistically appreciable, offering practical value for architects, environmental designers, and students and teachers in related fields.
