The Architecture School Survival Guide

by Iain Jackson

Oops! Forgot to include a door! Every year new architecture students make the same mistakes, forgetting the same essential elements in their studio work. This handy guide provides basic tips and hints to help students make the most of their work. Advice ranges from the practical (how to orient a building on a site) to the thought-provoking (notions of taste) to just plain fun (how to dress, or not to dress, like an architect). All accompanied by the author's witty and beautiful illustrations. The Architecture Student's Survival Kit is a life-saving and entertaining resource for any first-year student or anyone thinking about studying architecture.

Öğrenciyken satın aldığım ve mesleki kitaplarımın içerinde yeri ayrı olan bir kitabım vardı adı #mimarlıkokulundaöğrendiğim101şey idi. Çok faydasını gördüğüm o kitabı hep çok sevdim. Bu kitap da aynı o lezzete sahip harika bir rehber kitap. İçerisinde hayat kurtaran bir çok tüyo mevcut. El çizimleri ile zenginleştirilmiş bilgilerin yer aldığı kitabın mimarlık eğitiminin ilk yıllarında edinilmesi daha faydalı olacaktır diye düşünüyorum. Mimarlık ve mimarlıkla bağlantılı bölümler okuyanlar ile bu alana ilgi duyanlara mutlaka öneriyorum.

Tal vez las escuelas de arquitectura han cambiado y este libro puede no ser el más útil. La información más útil puede ser encontrada en internet o aprendida en el primer semestre. Definitivamente no fue de ayuda y tampoco encontré información increíblemente valiosa que compense el valor del libro.

This book was very good and easy to go through but sadly I couldn’t understand some topics…I don’t mind it really because I’m hoping in the future I will walk through it a few more times 🤞
Gave it 4 ⭐️ only because of that….🌝

This is the book I would love to have read before my first year of Uni.

As a senior, this book both improved and deduct my interest in Architecture. It did not only let me see the beautiful side of it but also the tough side. In the end, it gave me a balanced view which will both give you motivation and preparation. Aside from this, it offers a straight to the point of architectural tips and tricks. Unlike many who utter unnecessary information, it is clear, concise, and easy to understand.
