Features: Architectural decoration engineering is a comprehensive project involving multiple disciplines and trades. It encompasses fields such as architecture, sociology, folklore, psychology, human factors engineering, structural engineering, architectural physics, building systems, building materials, and construction techniques. It is also categorized into trades such as decoration, materials, hydraulic, electrical, low-voltage, HVAC, air conditioning, and budgeting, as well as the coordination and collaboration between these trades. Designers, construction personnel, and managers engaged in architectural decoration engineering must master relevant professional knowledge to perform their work effectively. Therefore, understanding architectural decoration engineering construction drawings—the fundamental technical language of this field—has become the starting point for those working in the industry. Architectural decoration engineering construction drawings are technical drawings created by designers based on the principles of projection, using lines, numbers, text, and various symbols to convey design ideas concretely into decorative materials, structures, and forms. A complete set of architectural decoration engineering construction drawings generally includes: design and construction specifications, a table of main materials and methods, floor plans, ceiling plans (), elevation drawings, section drawings, detail drawings, furniture plans, as well as hydraulic, electrical, and HVAC construction drawings. This book focuses on introducing the fundamental knowledge and basic principles of reading architectural decoration engineering drawings, as well as the composition forms of decorative design elements, the contrast and adjustment methods of decorative colors. The aim is to enable readers to gain a comprehensive understanding of reading architectural decoration engineering construction drawings, to preliminarily recognize the basic principles of decorative design and the fundamental principles of color design, and to explain these concepts in depth through engineering case studies.
