Description

---

While traditional drafting books focus on architectural and engineering readers, the thoroughly updated and revised Architectural Drafting for Interior Design, Third Edition, incorporates material and examples that are meaningful to today's interior designers. Beginning interior designers need to learn how to communicate their ideas graphically with a resource that is designed specifically for them. This book addresses this specific need by focusing on topics needed before AutoCAD is even introduced, such as how to draw a floor plan, how to use it to create an interior elevation, and how to understand the relationship between 2D and 3D drawings. Then each aspect will be transferred from the initial hand drawing to a digital rendering for completion. The only book that is written to the standards of the National Council for Interior Design Qualifications (NCIDQ) and interior design trade associations like the National Kitchen and Bath Association (NKBA), this will provide readers with a strong, standards-based foundation in interior design.
