Originally published as two separate books - "Basic Perspective" and "Creative Perspective" - this new, enlarged and combined volume provides a clear and simple explanation of the principles of perspective and how an understanding of them - even in our technology-led world - is the key for architects and designers to be able to produce great work. Packed with timeless illustrations and an authoritative text, it is an invaluable tool for architectural and 3-D design students, technical illustrators and product designers.
