It is also a book they may want to keep out of view of their professors, for it expresses in clear and simple language things that tend to be murky and abstruse in the classroom. These 101 concise lessons in design, drawing, the creative process, and presentation--from the basics of "How to Draw a Line" to the complexities of color theory--provide a much-needed primer in architectural literacy, making concrete what too often is left nebulous or open-ended in the architecture curriculum. Each lesson utilizes a two-page format, with a brief explanation and an illustration that can range from diagrammatic to whimsical. The lesson on "How to Draw a Line" is illustrated by examples of good and bad lines; a lesson on the dangers of awkward floor level changes shows the television actor Dick Van Dyke in the midst of a pratfall; a discussion of the proportional differences between traditional and modern buildings features a drawing of a building split neatly in half between the two. Written by an architect and instructor who remembers well the fog of his own student days, <i>101 Things I Learned in Architecture School</i> provides valuable guideposts for navigating the design studio and other classes in 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 a complex design problem. 1961349 30 9 2007 101 Things I Learned in Architecture School total:100|5:32|4:42|3:22|2:4|1:0| 100 402 190 29 5 0 false false Thu Nov 12 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Thu Nov 12 10:51:42 -0800 2009 Thu Nov 12 10:52:01 -0800 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sat Apr 18 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat Apr 18 14:00:16 -0700 2009 Sat Apr 18 14:02:41 -0700 2009

I couldn't recommend this more for design students! It has all of the key points that should be gleaned from your first studios and lectures, and maybe some good reminders for established architects a well.]]> 5 0 false false Wed Sep 16 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 16 03:46:34 -0700 2009 Thu Sep 24 03:56:02 -0700 2009 here.]]> 4 0 false false Wed Jul 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Oct 26 16:16:01 -0700 2009 Mon Oct 26 16:18:12 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Mon Sep 21 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Sep 21 20:40:10 -0700 2009 Mon Sep 21 20:40:10 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Wed Apr 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Sep 24 11:55:46 -0700 2009 Thu Sep 24 11:57:28 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Fri Jan 02 10:54:27 -0800 2009 Fri Jan 02 10:56:03 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Thu May 14 00:41:04 -0700 2009 Thu May 14 00:41:26 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Wed Jul 08 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Jul 10 09:32:55 -0700 2009 Fri Jul 10 09:34:45 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Sun Sep 27 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Oct 12 01:23:00 -0700 2009 Mon Oct 12 01:23:35 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Sat Nov 29 20:36:21 -0800 2008 Sat Nov 29 20:42:11 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Sun Jul 05 18:14:44 -0700 2009 Sun Jul 05 18:14:44 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Thu May 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Wed Jun 25 07:21:56 -0700 2008 Wed Jun 25 07:26:03 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 0 false false Tue Aug 25 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Apr 21 09:47:08 -0700 2009 Wed Aug 26 05:17:27 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Fri Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sat Oct 11 08:16:32 -0700 2008 Sat Oct 11 08:30:06 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Mon Jul 20 18:22:16 -0700 2009 Sun Mar 29 18:22:30 -0700 2009 Mon Jul 20 18:22:16 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Fri Mar 21 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sun Mar 16 18:01:51 -0700 2008 Fri Mar 21 15:38:31 -0700 2008
