Architectural GraphicsFifth Edition

Francis D.K. Ching

978-0-471-69902-6 • Hardcover • 592 pp. • 2005

One of the essential skills of any architect or designer is the ability to convey their designs through representation on paper or screen. In addition to being the means by which a design is interpreted and built, architectural drawing is also part of the design process, and can inform the final design.

Since 1975, Architectural Graphics has been a bestselling classic that has introduced countless students of architecture and design to the fundamentals of graphic communication. Illustrating how to use graphic tools and drafting conventions to translate architectural ideas into effective visual presentation, Architectural Graphics Fifth Edition uses Francis D.K. Ching’s signature graphic style to simply and effectively present information.

• Now updated to reflect the latest drawing techniques, Architectural Graphics, Fifth Edition continues to be the leading book on the topic.

• Over 500,000 copies sold globally of previous editions.

• Revised and expanded to include more information on computer-generated graphics and the latest drawing conventions for architectural representation

A Global History of Architecture, Second Edition Francis D.K. Ching, Mark M. Jarzombek, Vikramaditya Prakash

978-0-470-40257-3 • Hardcover • 832 pp. • 2011

The first textbook on the history of architecture to expand beyond architecture of the western world, A Global History of Architecture transcends older models of architectural history organized around national or regional units. Instead of focusing on Egypt, Greece, and Rome, in that order, it engages in a discussion of the connections, exchanges, contrasts, and influences in the architecture and cultures across a timeline that runs from the pre-history to the present. Written by a stellar team of architectural educators, this richly illustrated reference features the unique drawings of Francis D.K. Ching as well as detailed. This book is:

• The first textbook on the history of architecture based on the premise of global history

• Lavish new design; illustrated throughout with drawings and photographs in full color, and even more maps and diagrams detailing global interconnections

• A companion website includes an interactive search function, information updates, study plans, and image bank

• The signature drawings of Francis D.K. Ching are more informative than ever, updated with scale, annotation, and function where needed

Building Structures IllustratedPatterns, Systems, and Design

Francis D.K. Ching, Barry S. Onouye, and Douglas Zuberbuhler

978-0-470-18785-2 • Paper • 320 pp. • January 2009

Structures are an essential element of the building process, yet one of the most difficult concepts for architects to grasp. While structural engineers do the detailed consulting work for a project, architects should have enough knowledge of structural theory and analysis to design a building.

Using Francis P.K. Ching’s trademark presentation, Building Structures Illustrated is illustrated throughout with line drawings to present the essential presence of structural systems in buildings, but also helps the reader make informed decisions for architectural design.

Building Structures Illustrated takes a new approach to structural design, showing how structural systems of a building—such as an integrated assembly of elements with pattern, proportions, and scale—are related to the fundamental aspects of architectural design.

This essential book features:

• A one-stop guide to structural design in practice

• Treatment of structural design as part of the entire building design process

• An overview of the historical development of architectural materials and structures
