Abstract

This paper discusses issues regarding learning parallel projection drawing techniques. Since first year students of architecture find some difficulty in expressing their "first design project concept" in 3Dimensional form as their "first experience with the design studio". The paper analyzes students isometric drawings based on complexity of their first design projects concepts, introduces a comparison between conventional 3Dimensional projection methods that are both; Commonly and uncommonly used by architects worldwide, and recommends facilitating a time slot either during, or before starting their first year of architecture study, in order to develop their ability to create a more convenient 3Dimensional parallel projection drawings for visualizing their design concepts
