The Architecture for Teens: A Beginner's Book for Aspiring Architects by Danielle Willkens is an invaluable must-have, an animated fun read for both, new generations of young students, the beginners looking for an exciting direction and aspiring for a practical advice on a meaningful and inspirational career path, as well as for engaged parents and advisers.
With a personal creative touch, this book vibrantly introduces and tells the story of architecture as an all-encompassing field and a wide-ranging discipline. Thoughtfully structured and well organized, the book provides with a clever insight into the legacies, the present day, and the future opportunities of the profession. Colorful elegant renderings and the carefully thought-through format add an aesthetic appeal to this edition.
Broader histories are unearthed through the lens of interviews with recognized professionals, role models working in a variety of areas across industry and academia. It also reveals guidelines for discussion how architects lead and contribute to sustaining the human habitat locally, regionally and globally. References to primary national organizations and institutions uncover and help navigate through the many opportunities the profession offers.
Diversity, equality, and inclusion are the pioneering valuable aspects of this title empowering with the new potential of our changing time, never before challenged in an introductory edition to architecture histories and futures. This book addresses the value of teamwork, the role of individual leadership and character, and the importance and beauty of equal engagement of everyone of diverse race, gender, and tradition, across borders and cultures.

Architecture Marvel
I bought this book for my 14 year old granddaughter who has wanted to be an architect since she played with her first set of blocks. This book will be invaluable to her. It is comprehensive and beautifully organized. What a gift the author has given to the field and to those who want to pursue architecture as a profession. I’d give it 100 stars if I could.

I used this book as a part of an Intro to Architecture and Engineering class for a local homeschool pod. I really enjoyed the layout of the book and how easy it was to read. The graphics were nice. It was a very informative intro to architecture.
