Master practical geometry for architecture and engineering.
Learn simple, ready‑to‑use rules to draw and apply geometric ideas in real projects, with clear steps and practical results.
This edition focuses on turning geometric concepts into workable techniques for drafting and design. It covers straight lines, circles, conic sections, and curves, with emphasis on easy application and reliable results using common drawing tools.
The book guides you through areas such as the circle and its uses in architecture, curves of flexure for mouldings and arches, and spirals and other curves that appear in practice. Appendices extend the guidance to diagramming strains and isometric projection, making it a compact reference for the workshop and the drawing board.
Ideal for draftspeople, designers, students, and professionals who rely on precise geometry in building and ornamentation.
