Through step-by-step illustrations, Diana Kingsley draws on her professional and academic experience to show readers how to create beautiful detailed interior design drawings to share with clients, with detailed examples showing how to render furniture, floors, walls, windows, plants in floor plans and elevations, using only drafting pencils, a T-square and a triangle. Instead of unattractive plain boxes for furniture, the reader will learn to define them with handsome detail. Beginning with instructions on how to line up a T-square on the paper, to easily set up and work on any drafting board and covering how to properly use tracing paper layering to expand design ideas, all the way through to completion of the little pieces of art representing design ideas and concepts. The new edition builds on the success of the first edition, expanding the coverage of elevations by adding use of gray-tones for additional depth, adding new material on exterior and landscaping, and generally enhancing the content and drawings that make up the book's substance.

Hand Drafting for Interior Design shows you how to create beautiful interior design drawings to share with clients. Detailed examples illustrate how to render furniture, floors, walls, windows, plants in floor plans and elevations, using a T-square and a triangle. Progressing from the most basic lessons on how to line up a T-square on the paper, you will learn the complete drafting process, from choosing the right tools to the finished drawing. This new edition builds on the strength of the prior editions by adding commercial examples, electrical and lighting plans, custom millwork, and process drawings. New to this Edition · Explains how to use a lettering guide to easily improve your hand lettering skills · Includes a discussion for using a metric scale and a conversion chart · Expanded coverage of Architectural Elements drawn in plan view, including ADA push/pull clearances at doors, and stairs · The kitchen and bath section includes planning for ADA (wheelchair-bound individuals and aging in place) · A chapter dedicated to drawings used for custom millwork has been added · A final chapter on putting it all together covers title blocks, sheet layout, index of drawings, and symbol legends

The interior designer's guide to effective hand drafting The kinesthetic act of completing a manually drafted drawing gives interior designers a greater understanding of the space they're designing, time to reflect on their work, and the skills needed to quickly draw freehand for presentations and design concept developments. Manual Drafting for Interiors is an essential reference for interior designers learning how to manually draft scaled floor plans, elevations, sections, and three-dimensional drawings. Clearly explaining techniques and methods, it begins with an explanation of drafting tools and their various uses, and then presents instructions and illustrations that indicate how to complete increasingly more difficult drafting conventions. Additionally, readers will learn drawing techniques for indicating various materials, symbols for coordinating related drawings, and architectural lettering. Complemented with extensive drawings, inspiring examples, and tips for developing your own style of graphic expression, Manual Drafting for Interiors arms readers with essential skills they'll use throughout their career as a designer.

This book is designed to develop your student’s hand-sketching skills. The book will enhance your students basic knowledge of drawing techniques they can use throughout the educational “design process.” A review of basic drawing types is discussed in Ideation Chapters 2 through 4. The text is also intended to be a visual resource to aid design students. Various types of visual presentation techniques used to portray concepts are demonstrated. The practice of creating hand-sketched concept presentations is still viewed as an important design process and the building blocks prior to final CAD-generated documents. One course in hand drafting and/or sketching is not enough experience for the student learner; it must be fostered, developed and practiced in subsequent coursework that enhances the design process. Hand-sketching techniques for plans, elevations, sections, various 3-dimensional illustrations, millwork and construction details are covered in the book. Also covered are important issues used in the initial design processes of bubble diagramming, block and space plans. The topics of information graphics, delineations, and visual composition are addressed to enhance the visual communication of preliminary design concepts. Ideation Chapter 10 is a series of copyright-free line drawings your students can use to explore skill building through practice exercises referenced within each chapter. The book will be a valuable resource for each student’s educational career, as well as a refresher from time-to-time during their professional endeavors.

This resource on architectural drafting introduces the topic specifically for beginning interior designers. This second edition adds a new chapter 14, 'Incorporating the Computer,' which covers integrating software with hand drafting. Content reorganization - like new chapter 3, '2D and 3D' - makes this edition even more intuitive, with specific topics easy to locate.

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 will learn how to communicate their ideas graphically with a resource that is designed specifically for them. This book addresses their needs by focusing on topics independent of CAD, 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. Written with NCIDQ, CIDA and NKBA requirements in mind, this book will provide readers with a strong, standards-based foundation in interior design. New to this Edition: - Enhanced and new worksheets - New design and drafting information, including updated visuals and symbols - Emerging technologies such as photogrammetry and 3D printing STUDIO Features: - Study smarter with self-quizzes featuring scored results and personalized study tips - Review concepts with flashcards of essential vocabulary - Download floor plan templates and worksheets to practice your drafting skills Instructor Resources: - The Instructor's Guide provides suggestions for planning the course and using the text in the classroom, supplemental assignments, grading rubrics, and a CIDA Professional Standards Matrix mapped to the chapters in the book - The Test Bank includes sample test questions for each chapter - PowerPoint® presentations include images from the book and provide a framework for lecture and discussion

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. New to this Edition: - First edition to include comprehensive student-facing STUDIO and Instructor's Resources ancillary materials. - All new chapter exercises, class projects, and suggested activities. - Inclusion of Selected Answers to student projects at the back of the book.
