Dibujo a Mano Alzada Para Arquitectos


Book Description

Está enfocado hacia la parte más esencial e inmediata del dibujo arquitectónico: el que se realiza a mano alzada, normalmente con medios muy inmediatos y cotidianos: lápiz, pluma estilográfica y en menor grado carboncillos, rotuladores u otros. No es objeto de este libro ni la pintura en color ni las presentaciones y levantamientos de planos, que actualmente se realizan con medios informáticos. Distribuido en cinco grandes capítulos, el primero explica los prolegómenos: herramientas y materiales, la forma correcta de trabajar y las distintas técnicas de dibujo que se emplearán en adelante, desde los trazos a los códigos gráficos. La segunda, tercera y cuarta parte se centra, respectivamente, en la realización de los tres grandes tipos de dibujo a mano alzada en arquitectura: el croquis, el boceto y el apunte. Para trabajar en todos ellos se explican los diversos tipos de proyección usuales y los procedimientos de trabajo para dibujarlos, como la toma de medidas, la aplicación de sombras y los detalles a tener en cuenta cuando se dibuja en interiores o en el exterior. La última parte se dedica en explicar cómo se realizan en la práctica un croquis, a partir de una construcción existente, de toda clase de bocetos, desde los primeros trazos hasta los de presentación para un proyecto no construido; y por último, una muestra de apuntes de viaje, donde el dibujo arquitectónica capta la esencia y concreta la esencia de las construcciones de un lugar, en este caso el nuevo Berlín.

Dibujo a mano alzada para aqrquitectos


Book Description

Este libro se centra en lo más básico y esencial en arquitectura: el dibujo a mano alzada. En él se muestran estrategias y metodologías simples, aunque rigurosas. Se introducen conceptos fundamentales del dibujo y la geometría, del espacio y de la forma arquitectónica. Todo ello para que quien lo practique adquiera suficientes recursos e intencionalidad gráfica. Y es que el arquitecto desarrolla sus ideas y sobre todo concreta sus proyectos con el dibujo. De este modo, pasa de los primeros trazos de los esbozos iniciales, difusos pero sugerentes, en donde afloran sus ideas, a los planos precisos de obra. También recurre al dibujo ágil del apunte para captar sensaciones y proporciones, y a los croquis para acotar la realidad o fijar métricamente las primeras ideas. Asimismo emplea los expresivos bocetos para encajar y sugerir la apariencia volumétrica, la textura, la luz . . . Simulando el aspecto definitivo del proyecto, y a los planos técnicos para que su obra pueda construirse.




Architectural Graphics


Book Description

This book reports on several advances in architectural graphics, with a special emphasis on education, training and research. It gathers a selection of contributions to the 19th International Conference on Graphic Design in Architecture, EGA 2022, held on June 2–4, 2022, in Cartagena, Spain, with the motto: "Beyond drawings. The use of architectural graphics".




Approximation Theory


Book Description

This concisely written book gives an elementary introduction to a classical area of mathematics—approximation theory—in a way that naturally leads to the modern field of wavelets. The exposition, driven by ideas rather than technical details and proofs, demonstrates the dynamic nature of mathematics and the influence of classical disciplines on many areas of modern mathematics and applications. Key features and topics: * Description of wavelets in words rather than mathematical symbols * Elementary introduction to approximation using polynomials (Weierstrass’ and Taylor’s theorems) * Introduction to infinite series, with emphasis on approximation-theoretic aspects * Introduction to Fourier analysis * Numerous classical, illustrative examples and constructions * Discussion of the role of wavelets in digital signal processing and data compression, such as the FBI’s use of wavelets to store fingerprints * Minimal prerequisites: elementary calculus * Exercises that may be used in undergraduate and graduate courses on infinite series and Fourier series Approximation Theory: From Taylor Polynomials to Wavelets will be an excellent textbook or self-study reference for students and instructors in pure and applied mathematics, mathematical physics, and engineering. Readers will find motivation and background material pointing toward advanced literature and research topics in pure and applied harmonic analysis and related areas.




Manual de Urbanismo (Bogota, 1939)


Book Description

Unlike European countries where the consolidation of town planning was based on legislative reforms, Latin America’s urbanismo mainly stemmed from urban plans for national capitals and metropolises. Austrian academic and planner Karl Brunner was hired in Chile, Colombia and Panama from the late 1920s to advise in the professional and academic domains, marking a shift from the so-called École Française d’Urbanisme (EFU) of Haussmannesque descent towards the Austrian-German Städtebau, While coordinating the municipal office and plan for Bogotá, Brunner translated his Manual de Urbanismo – the first textbook published in Latin America about the new discipline and the first to incorporate examples from local cities. Based on his 1924 course at Vienna’s National Faculty of Architecture Brunner’s Manual emphasized the ‘scientific system’ of the discipline. Brunner was the most influential figure of his time in the urban planning of the region, but has become overshadowed by Le Corbusier's and CIAM’s prevailing influence after the Second World War. Complete with a supporting introduction written by Arturo Almandoz, this volume includes the full copy of the original Manual de Urbanismo with an English translation of the synthesis. Further materials, including an extract of Karl Brunner's "Problemas actuales de urbanización" and an accompanying English translation of the text can be accessed at www.routledge.com/9781138778573




Architectural Draughtsmanship


Book Description

This is the proceedings of the XVI International Congress of Graphic Design in Architecture, EGA 2016, held in Alcalá de Henares, Spain, in June 2016. About 200 professionals and researchers from 18 different countries attended the Congress. This book will be of interest to researchers in the field of architecture and Engineering. Topics discussed are Innovations in Architecture, graphic design and architecture, history and heritage among others.




Graphical Heritage


Book Description

This book presents the proceedings of the 18th International Conference on Graphic Design in Architecture, EGA 2020, focusing on heritage – including architectural and graphic heritage as well as the graphics of heritage. Consisting of two parts: “Representation and Analysis” and “Concept and Creation”, this second volume gathers selected contributions on topics ranging from graphic representation to the graphic presentation of ideas, i.e. artistic creation, to bridge the gap between graphic heritage and the graphics of heritage. Given its scope, this volume will appeal to architectural and graphic designers, artists and engineers, providing them with extensive information on new methods and a source of inspiration for future research and interdisciplinary collaborations.




Drawing the Head and Hands


Book Description

The illustrator Andrew Loomis (1892-1959) is revered amongst artists - including the great American painter Norman Rockwell and comics superstar Alex Ross - for his mastery of figure drawing and clean, Realist style. His hugely influential series of art instruction books have never been bettered. Drawing the Head and Hands is the second in Titan's programme of facsimile editions, returning these classic titles to print for the first time in decades.
