Preface to the Fourth Edition

The fourth edition adds two important chapters, Introduction to the Digital/Manual Interface and Introduction to Portfolio Building. The first new chapter is critical for a students understanding of how manual drawing and digital modeling play off of each other as partners in design thinking. This partnership is increasingly important, as the simultaneous use of both modes seems to be the most efficacious approach to design drawing. The second new chapter addresses the need for students to formulate portfolios for their work and future careers.

I am deeply grateful for the superlative work of the contributing author for the digital/manual chapter, Professor William W. P. Chan of Morgan State Universitys architecture department. He also worked with me as a consultant, shedding light on many other issues in the book. I would also like to express my deep gratitude for the three reviews I received for the portfolio chapter from Professor Mark A. Pearson of the College of DuPage, Professor Hiro Hata of SUNY at Buffalo, and Professor Chan. Special appreciation goes to Guobin Yu, who assisted with the transferring of countless images to CDs. A special thanks to Wiley assistant editor Lauren Poplawski and editorial assistant Danielle Giordano, both of whom patiently worked with me on numerous issues and problems. Finally, I would like to acknowledge the outstanding student projects submitted for inclusion in the book by the schools listed below.

Preface to the Third Edition

The third edition introduces hierarchy to make the book easier to use and its information more accessible. The hierarchical table of contents, for example, allows readers to reference the most salient topics quickly. Structural hierarchy within each chapter is based on two stages: BASICS and BASICS APPLIED. BASICS incorporates fundamental elements such as theory, definitions, principles, and concepts. BASICS APPLIED provides step-by-step how-to applications, along with student and professional examples.

The third edition has also expanded the content in the companion website. In addition to the initial second-edition website chapter titled Conventional and Computerized Representation in Color, two new chaptersand an appendixhave been added. The chapters are titled Interfacing Manual with Digital: Professional Office Example and Interfacing Manual with Digital: Academic Studio Examples. The interfacing chapters show projects that integrate manual with digital methods. The appendix offers a brief review of geometric definitions and some important principles of descriptive geometry.

I would especially like to thank Professor William Chan of Morgan State University, who was so gracious in donating his time to review most of the chapters as well as the companion website in the second edition. I also appreciate the comments on specific pages by Professors Dick Davison of Texas A&M and Arpad Daniel Ronaszegi of the Savannah College of Art and Design. Finally, I would like to acknowledge the assistance of Tina Chau, Chalina Chen, and Susan Wu.
