Customer Reviews:
This resource is a "must" for any beginner.......2006-02-20
It's one thing to tell someone what needs to be on a working drawing, but it's another thing to show them how to put one together. This book does just that. It describes a step-by-step procedure for developing a working drawing. While it's focus is on drawings for building construction, it can easily be adapted to parts fabrication as well. The clarity and simplicity of the presentation make this book a "must read" for anyone just entering the consulting design industry. It is also extremely low priced. I will say that the drawings are not completely cross-referenced and notated, as would be necessary for a complete set of documents. Still, the drawing examples do present clear set of procedures for preparing working drawings which everyone in the business should master. I highly recommend this book.
Included in my course syllabus.......2001-08-27
I have been teaching construction documents to interior designers at Parsons School of Design for the past three years. The Wiggins Book is one of the two prime texts included in my course bibliography. The sheet by sheet instruction are very clear and show the process of putting together a set of drawings. I don't always follow the same standards as Wiggins, but it's the best that's out there. As previously commented, not recommended for residential or specialty interiors projects. Very good reference for general commercial construction documents.
Good, But Not for Residential Projects or Beginners.......2001-04-12
I was looking for an introductory book to explain how to prepare construction drawings, and the title seemed like it might do the job. However, this book is ENTIRELY dedicated to commercial buildings and the target seems to be intermediate users. There is very little useful information for residential Projects or Beginners.
The book was done well however, and I wish the author would make a similar book for residential work and revise the title or taglines these books.

Book Description
Must-have format guide to brand-new CSI/AIA drawing standards. Turn all your working drawings into the revolutionary 199 CSI/AIA approved Uniform Drawing Format with the help of this step-by-step manual--quickly, easily, and most of all accurately! The new standards promise to eliminate time- and energy-wasting inconsistencies, and Fred A. Sittt's Uniform Drawing Format Manual: How to Incorporate the New CAD Drawing Stnadards for Building Design will eliminate confusion converting to these new standards. This is the first-ever guide to these brand-new design standards--which are comparable in importance to the CSI Masterformat. Using the standards explained in this resource will help you prevent glitches and omissions that have plagued architects and engineers everywhere, expedite contractor bidding and construction, and bring long-needed simplification and clarity to drawings. The manual hands you hundreds of samples showing exactly how and where to introduce the new drawing conventions in your own work, from building elements to details, materials, systems, and products. Still even compares the new formats with other well-known systems in current use, giving you the means to choose the best format for any size project. But no matter which system you select, you'll finally move the production process from dangerous "ad hoc" design practices to a comprehensive system to be used in its entirety. With the help of this manual, you'll produce drawings that "speak the same language" to everyone involved in the project.
Customer Reviews:
Very Poorly Edited Book!.......2001-10-29
I have read several books authored by Mr. Stitt - however, this particular book was especially poorly edited. The content of the book itself was fine and useful.
I found it ironic that a book dedicated to elevating the precision and accuracy of architectural construction documents would be burdened with so many spelling errors, repeat sentences, slang comments (I guess to give some personality to the author) and out of context information. The book was difficult to read because the errors were so distracting.
I can only speculate that either the book was published in haste and not edited at all prior to printing; to save money, 3rd graders were hired to edit the book (paid with candy and lunch money); or, Mr. Stitt has become very sloppy with age.
All said, the previous books I have read by Mr. Stitt have been masterful in presentation and content. This book is a huge disappointment!
Uniform Drawing Format Manual: New Cadd and Drafting Standar.......2000-08-22
Although the idea is good, the execution of this national standards review misses the mark. Mr. Stitt was unfortunate to have based his overview on an outdated model. All of the information I reviewed fails to reflect the current AIA and CSI documents, despite a copyright date later than the current national standards. The level of detail is inadequate for providing standard guidelines suitable to assure compliance.
Necessary Uniformity.......2000-06-23
Let me start with the only problem with this book. Because of its size and binding method, it is next to impossible to lay the book open on the desk as a continuous reference manual. As for the material and Cadd formatting, the book provides a necessary outline of layering and naming that closely follows what has already been programmed in the software. What makes this book such an important refence manual is the clarity with which it address each profession involved on a job. By providing the standard with which all professions can easily read and translate into their work, the book easilly pays for itself by clarifying the ambiguity of what information is necessary and where does it belong.

Buyer BEWARE!!!! Buy it used!.......2005-02-23
This was originally a fabulous 4-color printed book, but, it has been reprinted with very poor quality black & white photocopy looking pages. I contacted the "publisher" who basically said tough luck, this is business, and this is how we make our money. Buy it used!!! Because as you may have figured out, an art education book with low quality black and white examples is worth it's weight in beans!
40 Year Friendship.......2002-03-19
I bought this book almost 40 years ago. I was surprised and pleased to see that it is still "thee" book. Everytime I get stuck for help, I go to this book. Now I am planning courses to teach pre-school teachers in Japan. "Thee" book is open once more. Any chance it is available in Japanese? Thanks Lowenfeld and Brittain!!!
Meeting with the Titians.......2001-03-11
As I finish my final weeks as an art education major, I have tried to complete a reference guide for some of my friends that I will be leaving behind in my department. Other than books by Dr. George Szekely, Viktor Lowenfeld's book "Creative and Mental Growth" stands as the 'bible' for the educator, period. Art isn't "frill" or "elective classes" to children, it is the way of life. Without the understanding of how children view their world and how it does bend toward creative expression, a teacher is simply stumbling around in the darkness. In this stumbling a teacher may find a light switch from time to time. However, join the rest of us with the "torch" of post-modern education with Mr. Lowenfeld's book.
an essential text for all art teachers.......2000-12-03
This was one of the few required texts in my art ed classes that I did not sell back at the end of the term, and the only text which i still refer to 10 years after graduation. It contains valueable information for any educator who wants to ensure the creative growth of their students. It also includes a wonderful chart of children's artistic development. I've highly recomended it to every student teacher I have trained.

An excellent primer for exploring the real potential of the everyday human.......2007-06-25
This was probably one of the most innovative books I've read in a while. The exercises alone made this book a great read, but she also did an excellent job of explaining the underlying theory behind the exercises. I'll admit I liked this book a lot because it does go hand in hand with some of my own experiments, but I think that anyone who's interested in exploring the full potential of the human body will really enjoy this book, because the author shows you just how to do that. Her exercises are open-ended enough to allow for innovation on the part of the reader.
What I also really liked was that she did an excellent job of citing her sources and providing readers endnotes that fleshed out tangential concepts related to the main focus in each chapter.
The Possible Human : A Course in Enhancing Your Physical, Mental, and Creative Abilities.......2007-01-12
Dr. Jean Houston in one of the greatest thinkers of our time and, indeed, a force of nature when it comes to exploring the boundaries of Human Capacities. Buckminster Fuller called her mind "The Eighth Wonder of the World." Anything she writes is worth reading. Everyone knows that we use only a fraction of our total capacities. Through misuse, neglect, and even bad training, all of us have lost the full potential of our minds and bodies. In the past two decades, much has been learned about reclaiming these lost abilities. Dr. Houston, the leading exponent in this area, describes how each of us can remove blocks so that we can see more, hear more, remember more, and draw on more of our inner resources. She offers a comprehensive program of exercises through which the reader can test her conclusions and integrate them into his or her own life. Based on twenty years of research, this book not only extends our concept of what the "possible human" is, but how to get there.
The missing pieces.......2001-04-12
Wondering why the world makes no sense? Our culture denies or denigrates so much of the core of human experience. Dr. Houston walks you through practical exercizes to regain your birthright as a human being. I'm not fond of 'self-help' books, most of them are rubbish. But I bought copies of this one for my family, because the information in it changed my perspective about myself and the world I have to live in. I highly recommed it for intelligent people who want solid information.

Physician/fellow Brain-author endorses this..........1999-09-05
Regular use of cognitive techniques to exercise the brain "smarter" is a proven method of improving thought agility and mental flexibility. In today's world where you need to be able to think on your feet even during the "low" times of the day, these are worth practicing. May I also recommend "The Care and Feeding of Your Brain" as a companion guide to optimize general brain function as you exercise it with Eiffert's neat techniques...Ken Giuffre MD, author "The Care and Feeding of Your Brain"
Product Description
This book is written for art teachers- teachers who teach art, teachers and kindergarden teachers, and all who want not only to appreciate production of children merely for an aesthetic viewpoint but would like to look behind the doors and see the sources for which thier creative activity springs.
