Features: The main contents of this book include: fundamentals of projection drawing, basic principles and methods of architectural perspective, practical perspective drawing and auxiliary methods, shadows in orthographic and perspective drawings, and computer-drawn architectural shadows and perspectives. The book's main features are the combination of theory with practice, clear and accessible content, precise and concise explanations, appropriately challenging examples, and a focus on cultivating readers' independent thinking and working abilities. Several special-angle perspectives and the use of the "half-value point method" to solve perspective drawing when vanishing points are unreachable are innovations in this book. Additionally, the writing of the computer drawing section is particularly unique. This book is written by the author based on years of teaching research, practical experience, and findings, and is suitable for universities (including art schools) to offer courses on architectural shadows and perspectives in majors such as architecture, urban planning, interior design, environmental art, and landscape architecture (or related fields). It can also serve as a teaching or reference book for engineering professionals in architectural design, as well as for a broad range of artists.
