 Architecture 101 February 10, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Very insightful, informative and funny! A humoristic, light-hearted take on the architectural education, which sometime tends to be dry... Well, except for studios hours! Frederick's book is quick read that will quickly become any good student's basic reference to answers that sometime we're afraid to ask, such as are my graphics and texts too small on my panel? See 67. Or, is this a good idea to incorporate in my project? See 28. Or, will be a good architect? See 101.
The book's format and presentation makes it easy to grasp the idea or intention of each of the 101 things to be learned, or remembered (pending where one is in his or her architectural education). Its simple and effective drawings convey the message, just like Ching's architectural design guidebook Form, Space and Order. Frederick's book should be placed next to Ching in every student's library... may be even as its author suggests should be kept in plain view in the studio so other can use it!

My only regret is that I didn't see this book until now. Wish I had discovered it sooner. Worth every penny.

Great book with funny and very serious tips. I am an Interior Design major and I look at it for ideas as much as I can. I received it quickly and enjoyed every minute of it.

A very good book. Very direct and to the point. Each page takes you on a different design concept. Easy to understand and very well done. Concepts can be used for areas other than architecture. I've recommended this to other friends already.
Terrific book January 26, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I was going to call this a terrific LITTLE book, but it is simply a terrific book. When I ordered it, I didn't know what to expect, but figured the $10 wouldn't kill me. Then I found some sample pages on the publisher's website and thought it looked really cool. When it arrived, I read through it right away (doesn't take too long), and have been rereading it ever since. The format is perfect for rereading -- no chapters, just 101 illustrated lessons I can look at in any order. Whichever one I open it to, I feel like I either learn something new or am reminded of something I need to better integrate into my professional practice. Every architecture student should have this book -- it is more helpful than Ching's, even though much shorter. Every architect should probably have one too.
