This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is an introductory treatise on the graphic language, a written language that is expressed through not words but lines and symbols. The author takes an educational approach to assist readers in not only learning the 'vocabulary' of this language but also its grammar and idiomatic structure. There is an emphasis on the historical and contextual development of the graphic language in order to illuminate its use and evolution which guides the reader towards an understanding of its nuances, depth and flexibility as a language. Delving into the subject from the perspective of reading house plans, topographic maps, and perspective, the author demonstrates the utility of this language in expressing three-dimensional forms and translating them onto paper. The book is structured to allow readers to practice and develop their reading comprehension skills before moving on to writing exercises which include freehand drawing and the use of instruments. With a range of simple house plans, the author focuses on the application of graphical language to architecture before delving into the complexities of presenting buildings in 3D perspective. This book takes a novel approach to teaching a subject not often addressed in a purely linguistic context and is an excellent introduction to a subject with wide applications in fields ranging from architecture, engineering, and technical writing to web design and user experience. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781331997054_0
