Computing in Construction gives an indication of where future technology may become most productive through an analysis, illustrated by graphs, of recent patterns of growth. Architects, engineers, contractors and surveyors, and those supplying IT systems to them, will find the data on current applications of great interest, and the indications of succeeding technologies are essential for anyone planning the future of a business. New developments in the Internet, virtual reality, CAD, databases and integration, are included with the factors which will affect their growth. Rob Howard established the Construction Industry Computing Association in 1973 to help those in all parts of construction exploit the first computer systems. He has carried out many research and consultancy projects, surveyed the use of IT and CAD and managed multimedia and Internet projects. He has recently been appointed a visiting professor of IT in the Planning Department of the Technical University of Denmark.

Gouache for Illustration

Also known as opaque watercolor, gouache is the most brilliant of all painting mediums, possessing the greatest degree of opacity and capable of the finest detail work. Often erroneously thought to be impermanent—and therefore used only for commercial work that is not meant to be saved—gouache in fact provides the artist with as many permanent colors as oil, watercolor, or acrylic. Not only is it the favorite medium of illustrators and graphic artists, but it is also prized by watercolor artists for adding color and special effects to their paintings. Despite this popularity, gouache has received scant attention in art instruction books. Gouache for Illustration, the first book on gouache materials and techniques, provides all the information illustrators and fine artists need to know about this rewarding medium. Among this book's special features are: <ul>
<li>Comprehensive consumer guide comparing professional paint brands</li> <li>Series of simple tests for evaluating paints and brushes</li> <li>Section on color recipes for rendering various surfaces</li> <li>Gallery of step-by-step demonstrations of illustrations, for which gouache is often the medium of choice</li>
</ul>
In this one-of-a-kind book, Rob Howard demonstrates how fine artists and illustrators can master this dynamic medium. Rob Howard, co-owner of the Studio for Illustration in Boston, has over forty years of experience in all aspects of art and now operates his own portrait studio. He has illustrated eleven books, and he authored The Illustrator's Bible, the top-selling definitive sourcebook of illustration techniques. Over the years, his illustrations toured numerous shows and museums. His advertising client list includes major advertising agencies and dozens of high-profile business corporations.
