| | Customer Reviews: a book created to make money for the author and not much else... (08 January 2009)I find it schocking that there is a book teaching the "correct way for an architect to draw a line" and more upsetting that people feel they need to be told how to do so. If you have gone through architecture school as the book implies dont bother buying. If you are yet to begin, just go through school and put the money towards something more useful. great little book (22 September 2008)I really enjoyed this book - lots of little things that make you think, and some really basic things that you probably wouldn't know unless you have finished architecture school. As I am just starting out, I thought it was great. Good tips for crits, drawing, etc. nicely produced and illustrated but few messages you won't already know (23 January 2008)I read some reviews on amazon.com about how architecture students found this book invaluable. For sure, its a nicely produced hardback book, good illustration and clear layout - an image and text on each two page spread, and a lot of the advice seems to wander wildly from big, blue-sky thinking to specifics about US zoning and planning control. Some of the points are just downright pithy too - good architects are old - engineers know a lot about one thing, architects know a little about a lot of things. Overall, I was a tad disappointed - you can read the book in about 10 minutes flat and I think there were maybe two points I hadn't already thought of and was actively carrying around in my 'design-process' consciousness. Maybe this was always meant to be a book targetted for those at US architecture schools, rather than UK ones? | |
