Product Description
Product Description
Have you ever wondered how the ideas behind the world’s greatest architectural designs came about? What process does an architect go through to design buildings which become world-renowned for their excellence?
This book reveals the secrets behind these buildings. He asks you to ‘read’ the building and understand its starting point by analyzing its final form. Through the gradual revelations made by an understanding of the thinking behind the form, you learn a unique methodology which can be used every time you look at any building.

I received this book as a gift for Christmas, and i must say it is a delight.
The line drawings are clear and interesting, and the way the author moves through each building explaining design choices, such as the setting, form/shape etc is wonderful. Recommended.

This is an interesting architecture book which I have dipped into for researching different buildings. It has some nice line drawings. I was a little disappointed however that the buildings are all very modern. If you're looking for great buildings pre 20th century look elsewhere. Otherwise a good book.
