IWANT SEE PART FROM THE BOOK

This book should be in every Landscape Architect's libarary. If you're studying for the licensure exam, this book is essential.

It should be in the bookcase of any landscape architecture firm. Landscape Architectural students also should have it.

For anyone who just wants to know more about architecture. Perfect for non-english speaking architectural students like me. I really improved my knowledge of architecture.

A must-have for students and professionals alike. Clear definitions, useful illustrations, everyday terminology. Contains terms used by building professionals in coordinating with other trades. Resolves office terminology disagreements to provide for more accurate construction documents. For non-professionals - gain the knowledge you need in order intelligently communicate your needs to your architect or contractor.

Excellent graphic representations of ideas, from time to time I am unable to find a word.

There are so many facets of archetectural history that building terms seem to have lost their meaning. Especially in the ancient buildings from ancient Greek to medieval Gothic periods, the terms are so numerous -- and necessarily so.

The definitions are so clearly written in practical, easily understandable language. The illustrations are so detailed and clean that minute discrepancies between one term and another are easily identifiable. When writing reviews or analyses of various architectural buildings and styles of buildings, this book should always be within reach of the pen or computer terminal.

The book is great, but lots of definitions don't have pictures; Some house types had pictures while others did not.

I've profit their examples in my job. I think that the authors must use the IS. In non anglo countries is common used IS. I think that if there were more theory it were a better handbook.
