Sketching for Architecture and Interior Design is an indispensable and practical guide for students wishing to master the art of looking and sketching. To quote "drawing is truly a tool for seeing. To draw an object, interior or building, you have to look at the subject in a new way. The sketching process is a means of expanding one's creativity and awakening the senses."
