Editorial Reviews "...a priceless primer to architecture students anywhere who find themselves lost in a maze of theory and professional caveat." – Architect Magazine "101 Things I Learned in Architecture School is the kind of book I dreamed of getting my greedy, ink-stained hands on when I was a student.... a treat to flip through and treasure, as much for its simple illustrations as the bits of advice architects should be continually be reminded of whatever the stage of their learning." – Aisha Motlani, Milwaukee Shepherd Express "Books like this are brief tutorials in the art of seeing, a skill useful in every aspect of life on the planet." READ MORE – Los Angeles Times "Almost all of these nuggets concerning process and design have universal application. You don't have to be in class..." READ MORE – DesignLink "101 Things is really a book about the creative process generally, not just about architecture... READ MORE – Chronicle of Higher Education "Many of the lessons are germane to non-architects..." READ MORE – Boston Globe "...advice useful to most everyone..." – Dwell Magazine "...demythologizes the jargon that obscures the real meanings of what is taught in design schools. This readable and graphically clear book is a great introduction to design terms, principles, and concepts. Anyone interested in design will learn much from this terrific book." – Ted Landsmark, President of the Boston Architectural College and 2006-07 President of the Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture "...a wide-ranging assortment of architectural pearls of wisdom that every architecture student should understand, consider, and embrace... when first learning the daunting process of design. Encompassing both theory and practice, and illustrated with often witty drawings." – Roger Lewis, author of Architect? A Candid Guide to the Profession |
