Product Description
Review
"I absolutely loved this book. Once I started reading this book, it was hard to put it down. It was much like a well loved novel. The proposed organization of this book was great. It is well written. The information in the charts and illustrations fit each topic. Many of the chapters were short in length which made it easier to offer one a chance to absorb the subject better…. There is enough information in this book that several syllabuses can be made up for several semesters."
"This book provides a very comprehensive outlook into residential architectural design and drafting. It discusses all aspects of architectural design."
"The information contained on all plan areas is great. My students learn very much from this text. It is very self explanatory, easy to read and comprehend. Illustrations shown throughout the text help students understand what is being taught." --This text refers to an alternate Hardcover edition.

Great for a newcomer to the architectural world,
By "cwtahoe" (Pleasant Hill, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Architectural Drafting and Design (Hardcover)
I bought it used (1996 edition)at a bargain rate, in top condition. I'm changing from mechanical to architectural design and the book is priceless for me. It has all the basics, and lots of details. The book is a textbook with assignments and tests. Saves going to class. The focus is on design rather than CAD.

A very great book for the architect or design student,
By A Customer
This review is from: Architectural Drafting and Design (Hardcover)
This book is great. It has everything in it you need to know about different architect and design terms. There are also a lot of floor plan sketches in it to show you how they are done. This book has many units on individual topics. The plumbing section is interesting along with the electrical. I reccomend this book to anyone who is interested in studying architect or drafting. This is a great book to solve all of your worries about the field of architecture.

1980's Book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Architectural Drafting and Design (Hardcover)
I have this book. This book is a poor atempt at up dateing a drafting book to a CAD world. The CAD parts of this book are small and short. They were added to an existing book to bring it into the 1980-90's. The seems to be witten by a school teacher not a practiceing Architect with very little background into what is done in a small Architectal firm. I have not looked at the new addition but here is what it needs, a total rework of the existing material to bring it up to the year 2000, along with a CD-ROM that includes all the question at least one or two full sets of house plans. First a stock set of plan would allow the teacher to due a room addition project, change to a set of stock plans. a second set of plans be unfinished just the outline of the house, and a door and window schedule with blocks of all the windows, other drawing could be started also. It's not worth the ..., when there are up to date books for far less money.
