<br/><br/> This book is designed to teach attitudes, basic drafting skills - both hand and comuter-aided (CAD) skills, and fundamental concepts of architectural drafting to persons who will benefit from the information in their professional lives. Beyond this, the authors hope to communicate to readers an understanding of architectural drafting as a means of graphic communication, that is, a language. The professional architect or draftsperson needs a clear and fluent command of the language of architectural drafting.
