Geometry is an important prerequisite for architecture and its representation within the design and communication process. This book introduces the geometric basics of architectural representation in a didactically proven way and is aimed in particular at students of architecture, civil engineering, urban and spatial planning and anyone working in the field of planning and construction.

The aim of the presentation is to support spatial imagination and spatial thinking. Photos of built architecture and architectural drawings illustrate the connections and point to possible areas of application.

The book is the accompanying textbook for the lectures Descriptive Geometry I and II for students of architecture, civil engineering and the teaching profession of construction technology/wood technology in the 1st and 2nd semesters in the architecture department of the TU Kaiserslautern. This new 5th edition contains significant additions, particularly on the subject of perspective.
