Great ency. of arch. & landscape with wonderful drawings 21 April 2008

By barbara r - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

The completeness of the entries as well as the variety of drawings for entries---every variation on a capital, or on a roof line, or on window shape--makes this a perfect source book to learn from. The small paperback pocket size makes it handy to carry around when you are touring as well.

Nice little dictionary 10 Sep 2009

By I. Ashurov - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Paperback

This is a nice small Dictionary that one could take to class just in case you need to look up some key terms. Comes useful in architectural history class, but not limited to.

Great resource for those terms to know 5 Oct 2011

By Matthew L. Blackburn - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase

A great resource to find and learn your architectural specific definitions. Don't just search the web and use the first definition your search engine provides. Use this and find the right answer.
