The Codewriting Workbook Creating Meta-level Architecture in AutoLISP

The Codewriting Workbook Creating Meta-level Architecture in AutoLISP by Robert J. Krawczyk, published by Princeton Architectural Press on October 4, 2008, is a comprehensive resource designed for students and practitioners in the field of computer-aided design (CAD). This 416-page workbook introduces fundamental programming concepts through a series of guided exercises and examples, enabling readers to develop and write procedures for creating both two-dimensional drawings and three-dimensional models using various algorithmic functions.

Readers will find that each exercise begins with a simple concept and progresses into a range of possible solutions, fostering a deeper understanding of programming within CAD environments. The workbook not only focuses on AutoLISP but also outlines general processes for structuring procedures that can be adapted to nearly any CAD-based scripting language. By presenting efficient methods for computing singular results, The Codewriting Workbook aims to expand the design possibilities available to users in architecture and related fields.
