Architecture: Residential drawing and design

I had an opportunity to peruse another book by the same author, Architecture 3. Just as I suspected, Architecture 1 is no less perfection. One of the best overall books on architectural design also a really nice indication on interiors. A must have reference for any fan of the arts. I can't wait to get the follow ups Architecture 2 and Architecture 3. If that wasn't enough my purchase arrived so fast you've become one of my favorite vendors to deal with. Thank you so much.

EXCELLENT. I'd have rate it 7 stars if it was also available in metric dimensions.

After I finished the book, I understood what residential architecture was truly about. A must read for a student of architecture. The book taught me the following: Architecture= The blending of Art, Engineering, and Construction with the responsibility of protecting the health, welfare and comfort of the public. With this premise, a residential architect designs a "work of architecture" by gracefully merging the Blend of ART/ENGINEERIN/CONSTRUCTION with public requirements to create a homogenious seamless solution that meets public need.

Covers all the basics of architecture in a logical manner. Great detail on specifying building materials. My only complaint is the chapter on drafting tools is aged and obsolete.
