This is a practical straight forward guide to Architecture for the non-architect. Also of use to those interested in building design and architectual history.
Vision is better than a thousand words. Not only good for student but also good for architectural practicer. This graphic book makes you very easy to understand the architectural vocabulary.
This book is a must for any architecture student. My husband bought this book for me when I decided to go back to school to study architecture, and it has turned out to be sooooo helpful. I have used it in every course I've taken; it makes studying for tests so much easier. I really can't recommend it highly enough. It has a fabulous index so you can find what you are looking for right away, and the illustrations and page layouts are great.
As with other materials by Francis D.K.Ching, the illustrations are not only clear and precise but aesthetically pleasing. The Visual Dictionary of Architecture is an invaluable reference for the student and architectural practicioner as well. It is a pleasure to read through the material for a comprehensive understanding of architectural concepts, presented in an historical perspective which clarifies the how and why of modern day building technology.
This one has a lot of details drawings which are great. This book is really good for architecture students. I do not use the book every day, but when I need it, it proves very usefull. All books from this author that I purchased are really good so far.
