The How- To of Architecture textbooks.

I had an opportunity to peruse another book by the same author, Architecture 3. Just as I suspected, Architecture 1 is no less perfection. One of the best overall books on architectural design also a really nice indication on interiors. A must have reference for any fan of the arts. I can't wait to get the follow ups Architecture 2 and Architecture 3. If that wasn't enough my purchase arrived so fast you've become one of my favorite vendors to deal with. Thank you so much.

review Architecture: Residential Drawing and Design

EXCELLENT. I'd have rate it 7 stars if it was also available in metric dimensions.

Excellent Residential Architectural Design Overview

After I finished the book, I understood what residential architecture was truly about. A must read for a student of architecture. The book taught me the following: Architecture= The blending of Art, Engineering, and Construction with the responsibility of protecting the health, welfare and comfort of the public. With this premise, a residential architect designs a "work of architecture" by gracefully merging the Blend of ART/ENGINEERIN/CONSTRUCTION with public requirements to create a homogenious seamless solution that meets public need.

Complete book for beginers

Covers all the basics of architecture in a logical manner. Great detail on specifying building materials. My only complaint is the chapter on drafting tools is aged and obsolete.
