Perspective Grid Sourcebook

Book excerpt: The growing use of the computer in architectural and interior design has changed many work habits and procedures in the design office. The electronic revolution has opened the door to exciting options that were simply not possible before. One of these options is the almost infinite number of ways to study a proposed design in three-dimensional perspective views. Perspective Grid Sourcebook now offers architects, interior designers, and graphic designers hundreds of state-of-the-art computer-generated grids for plotting perspective and projection illustrations. This practical working tool contains several hundred small scale, exterior and interior, and nearly one hundred large scale perspective girds, including ground, eye-level, and aerial views, from a wide variety of viewing angles and distances. The volume also provides a helpful visual index that easily guides the user to the desired point of view. Created by an architect for designers as an aid in preparing perspective drawing, designs and presentation illustrations, Perspective Grid Sourcebook is the only collection of grids currently available in book form. This unique reference will enable design professionals to visualize designs quickly and to study them from a multitude of viewpoints.
