Architecture-Residential Drawing and Design provides comprehensive instruction for preparing architectural working drawings using traditional and computer-based methods. The text also serves as a reference for design and construction principles and methods. Organized logically around the design-building process in an exciting format, the text is easy to understand with much student appeal. Content is up-to-date with coverage of state-of-the-art technology.
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.
review Architecture: Residential Drawing and Design
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
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.
