More DescriptionCreation in Space: Fundamentals of Architecture, Volumes 1 and 2, by Jonathan Friedman, provide all basic projects, guided instruction, commentaries, and selected readings for a full year course in the fundamentals of architecture. It is designed to cover not only the normal technical requirements- drawing skills and techniques such as planimetrics, axonometrics and perspective projection, freehand drawing, and abrication skills for model making- but also fundamental design issues such as figure-ground ambiguity, proportion, scale, light and shade, and circulation. The two volumes of Creation in Space together provide a basic introduction to understanding architecture.
