"This book provides a concise and practical introduction for new ways of architectural representation. Traditional forms of graphic communication are inherently limited by their scope and means of production, and are now being superceded by emerging digital media techniques. Imdat As and Daniel Schodek explore the theory behind digital media representations and suggest how new and dynamic forms of representation can enhance our understanding and production of architecture."

Graphic communication in architecture has made a dramatic shift from traditional drafting practices to dynamic and hyper-medial representations. This book provides a concise and practical introduction to new ways of architectural representation. It conveys principles and guidelines for producing in-depth dynamic representations for design projects and illustrates them with examples of studio work. Advanced digital media techniques and dynamic representations are introduced as primary emerging modes of architectural representation, with techniques such as 3D modelling, animations, montage, virtual and augmented realities and other digitally based techniques discussed.
