A world of ideas, but presentation distracts,
By
This review is from: Architecture: Forms, Space, & Order (Paperback)
All the essentials of architecture - indeed, of three-dimensional design in general - in one volume. There's a lot of wisdom here, if you can get past the irritatingly chummy sans-serif typography and hard-to-decode, low-contrast pencil drawings.

The "I Ching" of Architecture.,
By
This review is from: Architecture: Forms, Space, & Order (Paperback)
An excellent introduction to architecture. However, I liked the old horizontal format better. The new edition has all the same illustrations but its vertical formal isn't as compelling. Ching is the master of free-hand sketching. In this book he covers the basic principles of architecture with copious illustrations and an easy to follow progression of ideas. It is great for first year students and frustrated architects alike. My only word of warning is that once you buy one of his volumes on architecture, it is hard to resist the others.

Outstanding - Every Student of Architecture Must Study,
By Donald W Randall (Virginia Beach, VA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Architecture: Forms, Space, & Order (Paperback)
This book is not just for reading, but for studying. Each page uses excellent graphics to demostrate and teach the principles of architectural design. Each page teaches a principle and the following pages build on that principle. This book is a text book and a study guide all in one book. I would recommend this book for student & practicing architects and interior designers.
