Presentation Drawings by American Architects is a compilation edited by Alfred M. Kemper, published in 1977. It collects high‑quality examples of presentation drawings used by American architects, demonstrating how architects use graphics to communicate their projects—to clients, stakeholders, and for competition or promotional purposes.The book is richly illustrated, including sketches, plot plans, renderings, designs, plans, etc. It shows the variety of graphic techniques: line work, shading, perspective, use of color, overlays, etc.It aims not just to show “finished drawings” but also how the drawings embody architectural thinking: how the form, materiality, context, and concept are expressed graphically. It serves both as a source of inspiration and a technical reference for architects, designers, students—anyone interested in how presentation drawings contribute to the design process.
