Introduction to Technical Graphics
|
Technical graphics are the backbone of our modern world.. They are essential for any physical product that needs to be manufactured, any building constructed or any complex instructions given.
As part of your Graphic Communication course you are expected to be able to read, create and fix technical graphics of different types. These course notes, coupled with lessons, will help you with the basics. |

Architecture & Building Drawing
|
We are surrounded by buildings of all shapes and sizes. Some buildings are purely functional, built to a low-cost without any aesthetic consideration, and some are beautiful sculptures capable of inspiring those that live and work in them.
Buildings are more than just wood, bricks, glass and concrete, they are an expression of human aspiration. In this unit, you will learn about the basic graphic processes surrounding architecture and construction drawings. |

Here is a short video on making a model for architecture. It is one of my early videos and isn't very good. I'll hopefully update this at some point.
