Description

101 THINGS I LEARNED IN ARCHITECTURE SCHOOL is a book that students of architecture will wish to keep in the design studio and in their backpacks. Additionally it is a book they may wish to keep out of view of their professors, for it expresses in clear and simple language the things they have a tendency to make murky and abstruse. These 101 concise lessons in design, drawing, the creative process, and presentation–from the basics of how to attract a line to the complexities of color theory–provide a much-needed primer in architectural literacy and make concrete what too steadily is left nebulous and open-ended in the architecture curriculum.

Like all books in the preferred and celebrated 101 THINGS I LEARNED® book series, the lessons in 101 THINGS I LEARNED IN ARCHITECTURE SCHOOL utilize a unique two-page format, with a brief explanation and accompanying illustration. A lesson on how to attract a line is accompanied by examples of good and bad lines; a lesson on awkward floor level changes shows the tv actor Dick Van Dyke in the middle of a pratfall; and a discussion of the proportional differences between traditional and brand new buildings features a building split neatly in half between the two.

Written by an architect and instructor who well remembers the fog of his own student days, 101 THINGS I LEARNED IN ARCHITECTURE SCHOOL provides valuable guideposts for students navigating the architectural design studio and the remainder of the architecture curriculum. Architecture graduates, from young designers to experienced practitioners, will turn to the book as well for inspiration and a guide back to basics when solving complex design problems.
