An Architect's Best Friend
17 Aug 2000
Format:Paperback
This book is one of the best reference books an architect will ever use. It contains the necessary information for the beginning and advanced architect. Inside the 568 pages in this book one will find from the most basic to the highly complex architectural graphics. The book provides reference for the various arcchitectural plans such as the floor plan, elevation and perspective drawings. No other reference material can surpass the amount of information provided in this excellent book.

Great Resource for Design Students
23 May 2007
Format:Paperback
I am a fourth year architecture student and I use this book every semester. I keep it with me at all times. It is the perfect design handbook. If you don't have it, You need it!
Student Edition

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book is great. The non-student edition is really expensive and doesn't give you significantly more than this one. I wish I would have bought it years ago!
