2.0 out of 5 stars Terrible binding, terrible layout, ok content, April 14 2007
By E. F. Dassing "Architect" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: 10 X 10 (Paperback)
I paged through this book literally twice after removing it from its packaging before the binding entirely separated from the pages. The cover of mine is now completely off the book, the "glue" that Phaidon used having completely failed to keep it together. This isn't an isolated incident either; several of my friends in possession of the same book have had the exact same problems. Even the copy on special reserve in my school's architecture library is experiancing problems of this sort. Above and beyond the binding issues, the actual design of the pages is very poorly thought out. As a previous reviewer mentioned, the captions of the pictures are oriented vertically within pages so chock-full of pictures it is hard to discern what one is looking at or for. The book's final offense is the essays in the back, which are printed on orange paper with black lettering, making them almost impossible to read. This book, while the content may be ok, is so poorly thought out that it warrants a second thought before purchase.

5.0 out of 5 stars great inspriation, May 10 2005
By studio 6 architecture - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: 10 X 10 (Paperback)
This book is an awesome tool for any architecture student, it provides an insight into what is possible if we push the boundaries of design.

It has been a great resource for me and many of my peers during my architectural studies.

Can't wait to pick up the new book 10x10-2

I only hope it provides me with as much reading pleasure as the first.

If you have a family member or friend about to start studying architecture or who has a keen interest in architecture, buying this book as a gift will most certainly whet their appetite for the field.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great Book, Terrible Binding Job, Sep 10 2006
By S. Tanner - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: 10 X 10 (Paperback)
The book itself is great; full of inspiration for an architecture student like myself. Great glossy photos, short bits of writing for each architect, basically just what I was looking for. However. And this is a big However. The binding will literally become completely detached after looking at half a dozen pages. I just took the binding right off, cut off the front and back pages, and glued them to the adjacent pages, and its somewhat been working by being held together with the binding string. Seriously, come up with a better binding for this great book.
