Technical Drawing in Architecture - 28th Edition

Technical Drawing in Architecture, one of the fundamental books of architectural education in Turkey, has been enhanced and enriched, increasing its page count by approximately 40% to a total of 524 pages…

Prepared by architect-academicians Orhan Şahinler and Fehmi Kızıl based on their extensive knowledge, experience, and expertise, Technical Drawing in Architecture is one of the fundamental books for architectural education in Turkey, serving as both a textbook and a reference for professional activities. The book not only directly conveys information related to technical drawing but also teaches and concretizes technical drawing by supporting it with information from sub-branches of architecture such as project organization, building information, details, perspective types, construction site information, project examples, and drawing examples.

In the updated and enhanced new edition of Technical Drawing in Architecture, which the authors worked on for a long time, new topics have been added in the areas of orthographic projection, perception, comprehension, building sections, and architectural language of expression. The added and updated topics have been made easier to understand with drawings that include perspective explanations and informative notes, and many of the drawings related to the topics have been refined by addressing deficiencies observed and tested in education. Topics such as planes in special positions, comprehension of an object from three main projections and finding its true size, the importance of graphic expression and perception, scaled drawing, 1/200 scale site plan and section, preliminary and definitive project examples with 1/200 and 1/100 scale plans, sections, and elevations, obtaining contour lines of the terrain using elevations given in a spot elevation map, finding the intersection and true size of roof planes in inclined roofs, and dimensioning in mechanical technical drawings have been added.

The definition and historical development of "technical drawing" in the book, tools used in technical drawing, drawing preparations and drawing, geometric drawings, representation methods, section types, dimensioning, stair plan and section, drawing of balustrade elevation, balancing stair treads, obtaining elevation from plan data without drawing a section, shadow in orthographic projection, and perspective with parallel projection (axonometric) have also been enriched.
