I am really enjoying this book. The book breaks down all aspects of building an architect must consider. I think it is a wonderful book for any person who wants to eventually build and design their own home.

All you will ever need to know about the design and construction of buildings, informative and useful to the layman, inspirational perhaps to those who wish to broaden their interest in architecture and how we live.

[Sereyvong Chhinlim]

A good companion (which also can be used as reference guide) to accompany you to go from basic to advance design guides. This one has helped me a lot from my 2nd year to the last of my Arch Degree.

Recommend!

Good diagrams. clear writing but could be more concise on the topics.

[Nima ُShoa]

درک کلی از تمام مبحث های مرتبط با تنظیم شرایط محیطی، ساخت، سازه، تاسیسات، ایمنی، نگهداری و ... ساختمان ارائه می دهد. که البته با توجه به حجم کتاب، هر فصل شامل اشاراتی سطحی اما کاملا مفید می باشد.
