Steve Bowkett
Archidoodle is an innovative book that is the first to provide a fun, interactive way to learn about architecture. Filled with an array of beautiful and elegant drawings, it poses all manner of architectural challenges for the user: from designing your own skyscraper, to drawing an island house or creating a Constructivist monument, plus many others more. Aimed at anyone who loves drawing buildings, it encourages the users to imagine their own creative solutions by sketching, drawing and painting in the pages of the book. In so doing, they will learn about a whole range of significant architectural issues, such as the importance of site and materials, how to furnish a space, how to read plans, how to create sustainable cities and so on. The book also includes numerous examples of works and ideas by major architects to draw inspiration from and will appeal to everyone from children to students to architects.
Some challenges in this book are: The furniture in a room has a big impact on its appearance and its style. Draw a table and chair that suits the interior of this space. In Dubai they have created a series of new islands along the coastline. Design your own new island community. Cities underneath our great oceans may provide a new way of living in the future. Design your own city influenced by the shape of coral. Here are plans of three houses which need to be positioned on site drawing below. Think about what would be a good view and in which direction the Sun comes from. Here are some buildings that have fantastic shapes. Design a couple of your own. Imagine you are James Bond's arch-enemy and you own a secret Island location. And many more!
