This guide covers sketching to record information, elevation and projection, and making final presentation drawings to communicate solutions to clients.Fully illustrated with over 100 colour illustrations.Alan Hughes has an MA in Interior Architecture and has taught at undergraduate and post-graduate levels for many institutions.
