DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from Progressive Steps in Architectural Drawing In presenting this work it has been the purpose of the writer to follow a definite system of draughtsmanship, and to explain the various steps taken so that they will act as a guide to the young student-draughtsman. As a rule the student knows how the finished product should appear, but seldom has he any definite idea of how best to obtain this result. He will find himself drawing line after line without their having any meaning to him; in some cases using another drawing as an example, counting the lines of the cornice, belt course or other details and laying great stress on the number of lines used, but knowing little of their meaning or effect. Very often in the classroom the student will be found working earnestly over unimportant features of the plan or elevation before he has worked out broadly the whole drawing. This often brings his work to an abrupt stop, and he has no idea of how to proceed with his drawing in a practical manner. Had the student blocked out the plans and elevations in their entirety, he would have at once obtained a grasp of the problem which would have enabled him to carry out his work to a successful completion. The experienced draughtsman must not judge the beginner too severely for any mistakes which he may make. The student is practically learning a new language, and therefore he must acquire the proper pronunciation and meaning of the "words", step by step, before he can readily "talk" (or draw) with his pencil in a creditable manner. It is, therefore, in the hope of assisting the student-draughtsman to acquire a definite method in the laying out of his work that the following is respectfully submitted.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from A Primer of Architectural Drawing for Young Students, Being a Progressive Series or Drawing Bonn Problems, Thb, Embodiment or the Teachings in the Mechanics Institute or New You City In the creating of this little book, thousands of hours of thinking and planning, observing and experimenting have been spent. The work, if such it may be called, has been almost wholly a delightful one, and has been in itself an inestimable reward to the writer. For the idea of writing the book, as well as for inspiration and encouragement during its progress, the author is indebted to Mr. Louis Rouillion, principal of the Mechanic's Institute of New York City. He is indebted also largely to the opportunity afforded him, by his connection during five years with this school, of putting his ideas into actual practice and of testing his theories from day to day. He is indebted to Richey, Browne and Donald Iron Works for the working details of one of his large plates. To the hundreds of students whom the author has met in the past, as well as to those whom he may not meet, he trusts that this book may be a means to guide them safely through the earlier and more fundamental problems in architectural drawing, and thus prepare a strong, and at the same time, inspiring foundation for the more advanced problems in architectural planning and design.
