"In this groundbreaking book, architect, designer, and prominent educator Paul Laseau covers the entire scope of architectural representation - traditional, new media, hybrid, and emerging - and their roles in design. The Architectural Representation Handbook brings showcase examples of representation into specific design contexts, giving architects, designers, and others a real sense of their variety, subtlety, and usefulness as tools for navigating the full spectrum of architecture.". "In one complete volume, you'll find a representation of the dimensions of architecture through a rich array of conventions and techniques from the conceptual to the perceptual, the concrete to the abstract, the personal to the public, the subjective to the objective. You'll also discover an extensive set of illustrations, organized in relation to the design activities of seeing, thinking, and communication - a "vocabulary" of architectural drawing."--BOOK JACKET.
