Easy to use and read and understand January 14, 2006
25 out of 27 found this review helpful
Somewhere near the very beginning of my lecturing career, I showed a slide onscreen and was trying to point out a unique feature of a home. Gesturing toward the screen I said, "that thingie over the window..."br /br /I was mortified. What a dreadful mistake for a "professional" lecturer to make!! Since I planned to give many more lectures, I came home and bought this book from Amazon. br /br /When the parcel arrived, I quickly opened it and was delighted to find the easy-to-read drawings. Ching makes the most complex architectural graphics easy to see and understand. Using this book, I gave myself a crash course on "basic architectural terms" and since then, I've given 200 lectures and never used the word "THINGIE" again!!br /br /Rosebr /author, California's Kit Homesbr /and "The Houses That Sears Built"
 Very Good Graphics Book September 15, 2005

This book was recommended to me by an architect for reviewing possible material on architecture license examinations. Graphically it's an excellent book. Bigger type letters would make it easier to read. Other than that, it's a great buy!
Good start for architecture students. August 30, 2005

I believe this is a nice book to start architecture studies with. To know the definitions of words that relate to architecture is a great help in studying the subject. Memorizing all of these words would surely help you out understand any talk about architecture.

If your a hobbyist architect like me you will find hundreds of tidbits of info on all aspects of building construction, and architecture in this book, all illustrated in superb pencil drawings.
puts all the elements in your hand November 2, 2001
18 out of 22 found this review helpful
a comprehensive collection of elements and discriptions for whatever peice of idea that has been thought of, a must have for those who really want to understand the details of the profession. Very well organized chapters, and i liked specially the coverage of nearlly all the styles old and new with nearly all the elements included in each style. Photoes are generously included but they could use some color to make them more appealing. it is nice i think if it was available on CD.
